Patrycja Jaros

Patrycja Jaros is a researcher at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Lodz University of Technology, specializing in nonlinear dynamics and synchronization phenomena in mechanical systems. Her work focuses on chimera states, solitary states, and multistability in coupled oscillators, with applications to power grids and complex networks.

• PhD in Mechanics (2017, Lodz University of Technology)
• MSc in Mathematical Modeling (2012, Lodz University of Technology)
• BSc in Applied Mathematics (2010, Lodz University of Technology)

Research Trends:
Her recent publications (2020-2023) explore higher-order interactions in Kuramoto models, asymmetry-induced desynchronization in power grids, and chimera states in directed networks. These studies bridge nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and network science, often using mechanical systems as experimental models.

Scientific Awards:

• 2018 Prime Minister of Poland Award for best PhD thesis
• 2017 START scholarship (Foundation for Polish Science)

Research Grants:
She has led projects funded by the Foundation for Polish Science (2011-2014), National Science Center (2014-2016, 2017-2019), and Lodz University of Technology's Young Scientists Fund (2013-2015), focusing on coupled oscillator dynamics and synchronization mechanisms.

Labs & Teams:
Collaborates with interdisciplinary teams including Prof. Tomasz Kapitaniak, Prof. Yuri Maistrenko, and researchers from the European Physical Journal and Physical Review E communities.
