معرفی
Tasso J. Kaper is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Boston University. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the California Institute of Technology (1992). His research focuses on dynamical systems, nonlinear dynamics, reaction-diffusion equations, and mathematical biology. He is a Fellow of both the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
He serves as Editor-in-Chief of Nonlinearity (UK Institute of Physics) and has held editorial roles for journals such as the SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems and Advances in Differential Equations. His work bridges applied mathematics and interdisciplinary fields, including fluid mechanics, climate modeling, and neuronal dynamics.
Recent research highlights include studies on bifurcation phenomena, symmetry-breaking rhythms in coupled oscillators, and delayed Hopf bifurcations in reaction-diffusion systems. He has advised over 15 Ph.D. students, many of whom now hold academic and industry positions.
Key awards include the AMS and SIAM fellowships, recognizing his contributions to dynamical systems theory and applications. His lab collaborates on topics ranging from glacial cycle modeling to chimera states in oscillator networks.
