     My principal research area is dynamical systems theory and applications. A dynamical system consists of a manifold whose points represent possible states of the system, "time" which may be continuous or discrete, and a time-evolution law.
      In some nonlinear systems, similar initial states of the system will lead to very different future states. Such a phenomenon is known as chaos. As a consequence, the behavior of the system appears to be random despite the fact that the system is deterministic.
