Sergey Zelik

Professor Sergey Zelik is a faculty member in the School of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Surrey. His research focuses on partial differential equations (PDEs), dynamical systems, and mathematical analysis, with a particular emphasis on nonlinear dynamics, reaction-diffusion systems, and attractor theory. He has made significant contributions to the study of global attractors, inertial manifolds, and chaos in PDEs.

Notably, he was awarded China’s Highest Foreign Research Honour in 2019. His work spans theoretical and applied mathematics, including studies on the Cahn-Hilliard equation, Ginzburg-Landau equations, and wave equations. Recent research includes the dynamics of multi-pulse interactions and the validity of Whitham modulation equations in Sobolev spaces.

Zelik’s publications explore topics like Poincaré inequalities, interpolation inequalities, and the long-time behavior of dissipative systems. His findings have been published in top-tier journals such as SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, Nonlinearity, and Communications in Partial Differential Equations.
