Mathematical Modeling

Antonio Palacios received his Ph.D. in Mathematics at Arizona State University under the guidance of Prof. Dieter Armbruster. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Physics at the University of Houston under the guidance of Prof. Michael Gorman and then in Mathematics under the supervision of Prof. Marty Golubitsky. He joined the Math Department at San Diego State University in 1999 and has been a full professor since 2008. His research interests are in modeling complex nonlinear systems. In particular, multidisciplinary nonlinear systems that interface with Biology, Engineering, and Physics. Over the past twenty years he has been collaborating with the Applied Chaos and Dynamics Group at the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Center, San Diego to design and fabricate innovative technologies. Prof. Palacios's publications reflect a dual interest in Applied Mathematics and Engineering, linked through ideas and methods from the theory of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems. He holds thirteen approved U.S. Patents and two more pending.
