Experience


+ Postdoctoral: Network Dynamics

Advisor(s): Prof. Adilson E. Motter (NU, USA)

Duration: Jan 2018 - Apr 2019

+ Ph.D. Dissertation: Stability of dynamical processes on complex networks

Advisor(s): Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Jürgen Kurths ( HU & PIK, Germany) & Prof. Dr. Reik V. Donner (PIK, Germany)

Duration: Jul 2014 - Apr 2018

URI: http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/18452/19867

Summary: The project comprised the development of a framework for the assessment of stability & resilience of (multistable) complex (networked) dynamical systems against random perturbations. In this context, the concepts of basin stability, ecological resilience & engineering resilience were utilized in identifying the crucial aspects characterizing multistability & quantifying the same. This culminated into the proposal of notable stability & resilience measures of multiple-node basin stability, integral stability & single-node recovery time as well as their applications to paradigmatic & practical complex dynamical systems.
