Alain Goriely is a mathematician. Currently, he holds the statutory professorship (chair) of mathematical modelling[2] at the University of Oxford, Mathematical Institute, he is director of the Oxford Centre for Industrial Mathematics (OCIAM)[3], of the International Brain and Mechanics Lab (IBMTL)[4] and Professorial Fellow at St Catherine's College, Oxford[5]. At the Mathematical Institute, he is also director of external relations and public engagement initiating the Oxford Mathematics series of public lectures [6].
Biography
Born and raised in Brussels, he obtained his B. Sc. in 1989 and Ph.D. in 1994 from the Université Libre de Bruxelles where he became lecturer in the Mathematics Department. Shortly after, he moved to the University of Arizona to take the positions of Research Associate (1994-1997), Assistant Professor (1998-2002), Associate Professor (2002-2007) and Professor (2007-2010). In Tucson, he also served as acting head for the Program in Applied Mathematics in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. In 2010, he moved to Oxford to take up the inaugural chair of Mathematical Modelling and to become Director of the Oxford Centre for Collaborative Applied Mathematics (OCCAM). He is a Senior Fellow of the Oxford Martin School and received a M.A. in 2010 from the University of Oxford (by resolution). He has held a number of positions, including visiting professorships at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, the École normale supérieure (Paris), and the Pierre and Marie Curie University. He also held the Timoshenko professorial fellowship at Stanford University and the Distinguished Rothschild Visiting Fellowship at the Isaac Newton Institute [7].
Research
Alain Goriely works in the field of applied mathematics and he is interested in a broad range of problems including dynamical systems; the mechanics of biological growth; the modelling of the brain, the theoretical foundations of mechanics; the dynamics of curves, knots, and rods; the modelling of cancer; the development of new photovoltaic devices; the modelling of lithium-ion batteries and, more generally the study and development of mathematical methods for applied sciences.
Differential equations and dynamical systems
In his doctoral research on singularities, integrability theory, and dynamical systems, he established deep connections between the analytic and geometric approaches of differential equations by showing that the local behavior of the solutions of differential equations in complex time is connected to their global geometric properties in phase space. In particular, he developed new tests to prove the integrability and non-integrability for systems of differential equations and discrete mappings, based on the so-called Painlevé expansions in complex time. More importantly, he derived a new form of the Melnikov distance from the local Painleve property that can be used to prove the existence of transverse homoclinic connections, thereby directly relating local multivaluedness in complex time to chaotic dynamics in real-time. He also gave sufficient conditions for the existence of open sets of initial conditions leading to finite-time singularities which cosmologists use to explore possible singularities in cosmological models (such as the expanding general-relativistic Friedmann universe, brane singularity).
