Jonathan Deane: Research

My undergraduate degree was physics (Merton College, Oxford, 1979--1982), and a few years after graduating I decided to do a PhD and then some post doctoral research, in the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Surrey (1986--1994), remaining there as a lecturer until 2000. I then moved to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, where I still am. It is hardly surprising therefore that my research interests are at the very applied end of the mathematical spectrum; here are some of them:

• Continuous dynamics and nonlinear ODEs
  [JMP]  [App Maths and Computation]  [PRSL A] [Physics Letters A]
• Chaos and nonlinear dynamics in electronic systems
  • Systems described by piecewise isometries or piecewise similarities
    [Meccanica]  [Dyn Sys]  [IJBC]  [ISCAS]
  • Power converters
    [Elec Lett]  [ISCAS]  [IEEE Trans CAS]
  • Computer data networks
    [Unpublished]   [IJE]
• Modelling of nonlinear devices, for instance saturating/hysteretic inductors
  [IEEE Trans Mag]
• Circuit theory
  [IJE]   [IJE]   [IJE]
• Extreme value theory applied to signal processing
  [Elec Lett]

PhD thesis entitled Iterative Electronic Circuits and Chaos (1990). This is available from the University of Surrey library (address: Guildford, GU2 7XH, UK) and also on microfilm from the British Library, Boston Spa, North Yorkshire; code number DX 91717.

Contributions to the book Nonlinear Phenomena in Power Electronics, which was published by the IEEE in summer 2001.
