WICL - Chaos Theory

Program Description

"Chaos theory, is the study of apparently random or unpredictable behavior in complex systems. It states that within the apparent randomness there are underlying patterns, interconnections, feedback loops, fractals, and self-organization. The butterfly effect, for example, describes how a small change in a starting condition can result in large differences later. Born in Bogota, Colombia, Daniel Borrero received his BS in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin and his PhD in Physics from Georgia Tech. In 2016, Daniel joined the Department of Physics at Willamette University, where he is now an Associate Professor. His research focuses on fluid systems with complex spatiotemporal dynamics, as well as emergent phenomena such as spontaneous synchronization in mechanical systems."
