I work in the field of Dynamical systems theory and its applications. This
field deals with how systems evolve with time. It is well established by now
that even very simple deterministic systems can have complicated, even
chaotic, dynamics. Studying the characteristics of chaotic motions that
arise in fluid mixing, particle dynamics and nonlinear optics problems leads
to new insights on the physics and to new developments of the mathematical
theory. Modeling the innate immune system of cancer patients and using
dynamical systems tools to analyze the model lead to suggesting novel
strategies of treatment for the patients.
