The Mathematical Institute is looking for 1 PhD candidate to join the project How Structure Organizes Nonlinear Wave Propagation - The Spatial Syntax of Waves under the supervision of Martina Chirilus-Bruckner (1.0 FTE position)

What you will do

Applications are invited for a 4-year PhD position under the supervision of Martina Chirilus-Bruckner at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University, as part of the project How Structure Organizes Nonlinear Wave Propagation: The Spatial Syntax of Waves. The project focuses on nonlinear wave propagation in spatially structured heterogeneous media, described by partial differential equations and analyzed using tools from finite- and infinite-dimensional dynamical...
