Projects & Jobs
I always seek highly motivated students and postdoctoral fellows with an interest in nonlinear dynamics, complex systems theory, mathematical
biology or biophysics.
I welcome engineers, mathematicians and physicists alike who wish to pursue problems in complex dynamical systems, mathematical modeling and analysis with
applications in biology and technology.

BSc and MSc Projects
Various projects at BSc/MSc level are possible revolving around, e.g.,
- Dynamical systems theory
- Network dynamics, synchronization theory and coupled oscillator networks
- Mathematical biology (neural networks, vascular networks, cancer modeling, circadian rhythms, food web models, ...)
- See PROJEKTBASEN.DTU.DK for a list of possible projects.
- Dynamics of spiral waves and chimera states in heart tissue
- Hyperbolic Geometry of Chimera states
- Synchronization dynamics in electric power grids
- Synchronization dynamics in theta neurons, and information routing
- Symmetry Breaking Dynamic States and Multi-stability in Complex Neural Networks (or general oscillator networks)
- Revealing the Topology of Circulatory Networks in Nature
- Circadian Rhythm and Resynchronization in a Neural Networks
- Synchronization and bifurcation in mechanical oscillator networks (near-Hamiltonian mechanics, averaging methods, dimensional reduction
- Evolutionary Dynamics in Cancerous Tissue Network
- Detecting critical transitions and operational failure in noisy complex dynamical systems
- ...

PhD and PostDoc
Funding for PhD/Postdoc projects can be attained via various funding programmes at University / National / EU level.
Excellent candidates who are interested in a Ph.D. or postdoctoral position should send me
a CV with contact information for three references (letters of recommendation from these references should be sent separately).
