Dynamical Systems & Ergodic Theory
Dynamical Systems & Ergodic Theory is a branch of analysis that studies the statistical properties of the involvement over time for a point in an ambient space. This topic has applications in many areas both within mathematics and in the real world, including but not limited to combinatorics, number theory, physics, and differential equations.
The image shown on the right is a picture of the Lorenz attractor, which arises in the study of a dynamical system called the Lorenz oscillator.

Research Advisors in Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory
-
Bio ItemIonut-Gabriel Farcas , bio
Professor Farcaș's research bridges scientific computing, high-performance computing, and computational physics. His work focuses on scientific machine learning, reduced and surrogate modeling, uncertainty quantification, and sparse grid and multi-fidelity methods. These computational techniques are designed to tackle complex, large-scale numerical simulations, such as those arising in turbulent transport in fusion devices or combustion processes in rocket engines.
