John Guckenheimer, a professor of mathematics at Cornell University, is widely recognized as a pioneer in dynamical systems and chaos theory. His research blends theoretical investigation, development of computer methods, and studies of nonlinear systems that arise in the diverse fields of science and engineering. Dr. Guckenheimer’s current work focuses upon the dynamics of systems with multiple time scales, algorithm development for problems involving periodic orbits and applications to the neurosciences, animal locomotion and control of nonlinear systems. A Guggenheim fellow in 1984, he was elected president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 1996. |
