Nonlinear Dynamics

Nonlinear dynamics deals with emergent behavior, i.e. all kinds of phenomena in dynamical systems that are ‘more than the sum’. This comprises the spontaneous formation of patterns from originally uniform states as well as the collective dynamics of an ensemble of coupled oscillators. We investigate synchronization patterns in systems of coupled oscillators and oscillatory media both experimentally and theoretically.
