Research Expertise

Research Interests

My research is in the broad area of dynamical systems. I have worked on a wide range of applications including mechanical systems with impacts or friction, relay control, human balancing tasks, excitable dynamics in neurons, the Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction, yeast growth, and calcium propagation in cells.

I am most interested in mathematical models for which the equations are nonsmooth (corresponding to some sort of switch, decision or impact). The behaviour of nonsmooth systems is often complicated and poorly understood because nonsmooth systems are highly nonlinear, and consequently can exhibit intricate and chaotic dynamics.

Project Title: Minimal mathematical models for dynamical systems with abrupt events.

By determining how objects, fluids, organisms, etc, move we can predict their future state. We can then modify our actions or the system itself to our advantage, and in many ways this is the basis of technological advances throughout society. While some understanding can be achieved experimentally, to determine, quantitatively, what features cause which phenomena to occur and when, one needs a model. Through modelling we can explain how different dynamics occurs under different conditions. This can be achieved by analysing minimal models (normal forms) that describe critical changes (e.g. tipping points). However, for systems with collisions, thresholds, on/off control strategies, or other abrupt events, normal forms often fail to capture key elements of the dynamics. This project will explain when and why standard normal forms can be used and how to modify and simplify them when needed. The results will be based upon new geometric techniques for establishing when the dynamics is robust to variations in model parameters, and applied to characterise the occurrence and intensity of contact events that cause unwanted damage in mechanical systems. Overall the results will provide a rigorous methodology for determining how the physical features of a system drive its dynamics.
