Nonlinear Dynamics and Control

Prof. Dr. Eckehard Schöll, PhD
In the center of the activities of the group are theoretical investigations and computer simulations of nonlinear dynamic systems and complex networks. We study self-organized spatio-temporal pattern formation and its control by time-delayed feedback methods, and stochastic influences and noise. Our current research focusses on the deliberate control and selection of complex, chaotic, or noise-induced space-time patterns as well as dynamics of complex delay-coupled networks. As state-of-the-art applications we investigate optoelectronic and neural systems, in particular semiconductor lasers and optical amplifiers, nonlinear dynamics in semiconductor nanostructures (quantum dots), and neuronal dynamics.
