research
Overview
- theoretical aspects of complex dynamics, nonlinear stochastic processes.
- the relationship between dynamics and statistical physics, nonequilibrium statistical physics and fluctuation theorems
extreme events - novel concepts for time series analysis, essentially based on the idea of reconstruction of a state space from observations.
Time series software package TISEAN - data analysis, modeling, and prediction in atmospheric physics: ensemble forecasts, skill scores, systematic errors, effects of long range correlations, identification of trends
