Jacques Furter

Dr Jacques Furter is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Brunel University, affiliated with the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences. His expertise spans pure and applied mathematics, with a focus on bifurcation theory and singularity theory.

• Diplome de Mathematicien, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne
• PhD Mathematics, Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne

His research explores symmetric bifurcation, singularity theories, and their applications in elasticity and reaction-diffusion systems. He combines analytical methods with numerical simulations and computer algebra for problem-solving.

The 15 most recent publications highlight his work on equivariant symplectic maps, forced symmetry-breaking, and path formulation techniques. Keywords include Singularity Theory, Symplectic Geometry, and Dynamical Systems, with subfields like non-degenerate umbilics and Dn symmetry.

Teaching modules include Linear Algebra, Analysis, and Differential and Integral Equations. He also mentors final-year and MSc. student projects on topics such as Plate Buckling and Population Harvesting.
