معرفی
Prof. Babette de Wolff is an Assistant Professor in Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems at the University of Hamburg's Department of Mathematics (Applied Mathematics). Her research focuses on dynamical systems, particularly delay differential equations and network dynamics, with applications in control theory and bifurcation analysis. She holds a PhD from Freie Universität Berlin (2018–2021), advised by Bernold Fiedler, and has held postdoctoral positions at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the Berlin Mathematical School.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, Freie Universität Berlin & Berlin Mathematical School (2018–2021)
- MSc in Mathematics, Universiteit Utrecht (2013–2018)
- BSc in Mathematics and Physics, Universiteit Utrecht (2013–2018)
Research Interests: She develops theoretical tools to bridge fundamental dynamical systems theory with real-world applications. Key themes include feedback stabilization of periodic orbits, numerical approximation of delay equations (e.g., pseudospectral methods), and phase reduction techniques for oscillator analysis in delay-coupled networks.
Teaching & Activities:
- Recent courses: 'Partial Differential Equations' (Master), 'Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems' (Bachelor)
- Organized workshops on state-dependent delay equations and contributes to the Delay Days conference series
- Former board member of EWM-NL (European Women in Mathematics - Netherlands)
Labs/Teams: Active in interdisciplinary collaborations within the Department of Mathematics' Applied Mathematics group. Her work intersects with numerical methods and applications in nonlinear dynamics.
