Alex Kacelnik

Alejandro (Alex) Kacelnik grew up in Buenos Aires, where he studied Zoology and made his early research steps in comparative neurophysiology of amphibians, lizards and rats. In 1974 he took a British Council Scholarship in Oxford, where he completed a doctorate on decisionmaking in birds, a subject to which he has remained close ever since. He spent postdoctoral spells in Groningen, Oxford and ...

Chaos in Accelerators Alex

Chaos is a general phenomenon in nonlinear dynamical systems. Accelerators { storage rings in particular { in which particles are stored for 10 revolutions constitute a particularly intricate nonlinear dynamical system. (In comparison, the earth has revolved around the sun for only 10 turns.) Storage rings therefore provide an ideal testing ground for chaos physics. In fact, it is the chaos phe...

Professional statement — Alex

Numerical simulation and data analysis have always been key to scientific and technological progress. Their role is growing, but so is the scale of complexity of the problems. This motivates my work as an applied mathematician to develop the computational algorithms that will enable the challenging problems of today and tomorrow to be solved efficiently. My main area is solving the partial diff...
