Current Projects

(i) Structural complexity and dynamical systems Relationships between dynamical features and evolution of complex fluid systems such as vortex tangles and magnetic fields in terms of geometric, algebraic and topological information. Aims: to establish relations between dynamical aspects and morphological information by analytical means. (ii) Energy lower bounds on magnetic knots and links Identification of … Continue reading
