I am a Professor of Applied Mathematics, having previously held chairs in UMIST and Queen Mary, University of London. The photo is from my talk at the Royal Institution in 2014.
Recently I have been on Council of the IMA, Nominating Committee of LMS, Royal Society Research Grants Scheme Physical Sciences Board.
If you are thinking of doing a Ph.D. with me then you should get an application form from our Postgraduate pages. It is also a good idea to email me so that we can talk about what you might do.
You can find more details of the people
I work with and my academic career.
Some of my papers (and a list of other papers)
are also available. I also have some
personal links. Recent papers can be downloaded
from the departments eprint server.
This is a rapidly expanding area -- I am particularly interested in bifurcations creating sets with large dimension.
My current work here focusses on bifurcations from trajectories of differential equations which extend to infinity (examples are the Falkner-Skan equations and the Nose equations). These are still very poorly understood except on an example by example basis. Much of this work is in collaboration with Sir Peter Swinnerton-Dyer at the Newton Institute in Cambridge.
Identical, globally coupled systems can have synchronized states in which every system behaves identically. Bifurcation curves corresponding to bifurcations in which typical chaotic synchronized solutions become unstable may be extremely complicated (fractal). This is associated with blowout bifurcations from the synchronized state (the loss of transverse stability of atypical sychnronized states embedded in the chaotic attractor) in ways which are not completely understood.

I've more or less stopped working on this, but I like the picture!.
This picture
shows the Mandelbrot set for the complex quadratic map. It has almost
nothing to do with my research (except insofar as it is a representation
of the parameter space of a low dimensional map)
but you have to admit that it is pretty.
