معرفی
Dr. Ian Morris is a Reader in Mathematics at Queen Mary University of London and Deputy Director of Postgraduate Research Studies. Previously, he held positions at the University of Surrey (2012–2020) and postdoctoral roles at institutions including the University of Rome Tor Vergata and the University of Warwick. His research focuses on ergodic theory, with applications to fractal geometry, matrix analysis, and dynamical systems.
Education:
- PhD in Mathematics, University of Manchester (2006), supervised by Dr. Charles Walkden.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, University of Warwick.
Research Interests: Morris specializes in ergodic theory and its applications to fractal geometry, joint spectral characteristics of matrices, and dynamical systems. His work includes studies on self-affine fractals, Lyapunov exponents, and thermodynamic formalism for linear cocycles. He has explored topics such as marginal instability in switched systems and the interplay between self-affine measures and fractal dimensions.
Grants:
- Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant (2024–2028): "An ergodic optimisation approach to stability of linear switched systems" (£189,097).
- Leverhulme Trust Grant (2017–2022): "Lower bounds for Lyapunov exponents" (£267,776).
Advising and Collaborations: Morris supervised PhD student Jonah Varney (2018–2022) and postdoctoral researchers Natalia Jurga and Argyrios Christodoulou. His collaborations include work with Balázs Bárány, Antti Käenmäki, and Çağrı Sert on topics like self-affine measures and matrix equilibrium states.
Labs/Teams: Morris is affiliated with the Centre for Complex Systems at Queen Mary University of London, focusing on interdisciplinary research in dynamical systems and fractal geometry.
