Prof. Juan G. Restrepo's research focuses on the analysis of emergent complex behavior in systems of interconnected units using techniques of nonlinear dynamics. Important examples of such systems are collections of network-coupled oscillators and excitable systems such as neurons, and cardiac cells coupled in tissue. The analysis of network-coupled systems requires developing an understanding of quantitative aspects of the structure of the coupling network. Prof. Restrepo is interested in the mathematical modeling of phenomena ranging from opinion dynamics to synchronization of coupled oscillators.
