Research interests
Theoretical studies on
- control of pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems
(investigation of the periodically forced complex Ginzburg-Landau equation as well as realistic models describing eg. the catalytic CO oxidation on Pt(110) or the photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction) - nonequilibrium pattern formation in reactive soft matter
- nonlinear dynamics in semiconductors
