Editor (specializations: Numerical analysis, dynamical systems) My notes Click edit above to start these notes Public notes: Specializations My specialization is numerical analysis, which is the simulation of phenomena like the weather or the flow of air around an aircraft on a computer. More specifically: Numerical analysis, especially of ordinary differential equations; my main interests are: exponential integrators, Magnus integrators, global error, B-series Dynamical systems; main interests: bifurcation theory, especially the Evans function (a tool for assessing the stability of travelling waves), symmetries of partial differential equations Short biography Born in the Netherlands in 1974 Ingenieur (Dutch university degree) in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at Twente University, Netherlands (awarded 1999) PhD in Applied Mathematics from University of Cambridge, England (awarded 2005) Taught for two months at the International University Bremen, Germany Post-doc for 2½ years in the Mathematics Department, Heriot-Watt University, Scotland Post-doc for 1½ years in the Mathematics Department, La Trobe University, Australia Currently on a Roberts Fellowship in the Department of Mathematics, University of Leeds, England More information and my curriculum vitae can be found on my home page.
