A University of Aberdeen professor has been presented with an award in recognition of his breakthrough achievements in Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos.
Professor Celso Grebogi is the recipient of the James Yorke Award and was presented with the prize at the Mathematical Analysis and Applications Conference (ICMASC) held in Porto, Portugal on 22nd June 2024.
Professor Grebogi is the Sixth Century Chair in Nonlinear and Complex Systems, and the Founding Director of the Institute for Complex Systems and Mathematical Biology in the School of Natural and Computing Sciences.
His work seeks to bridge the gaps between abstract concepts and scientific disciplines exploring how mathematical developments can be integrated with biological experiments.
This can help us to understand natural phenomena, make predictions based on experiments, and improve the public’s standard of living.
Professor Grebogi’s work has many applications from interactions between habitats and the effects of migration to the interface between computers and other devices, for example to detect the sleep stages or tiredness when driving.
Professor Marty Golubitsky, Chair of ICMASC 24, wrote of the award: “Your outstanding achievements and contributions in Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos have distinguished you among your peers, making you a truly deserving recipient of this esteemed honour. Your dedication, hard work, and exceptional talent is an inspiration to others in our community.”
