Dynamical systems and ergodic theory

Project level: PhD, Masters, Honours

Dynamical systems and ergodic theory deal with the long term behaviour of systems which evolve over time. Topics available for student projects at PhD/Masters/Honours level include theoretical and computational analysis of metastable and coherent structures. Such structures encode important information of the long term evolution and transport phenomena in the underlying system. For example, they are useful to identify, analyse and quantify features of natural phenomena such as oceanic eddies and atmospheric vortices.
