Jonathan Dawes is a professor belongs to the department of Mathematical Sciences from the university of Bath.

Research Interest

I use a variety of techniques including bifurcation theory and multiple-scale asymptotics to understand the dynamics of an excitingly broad variety of physical and biological systems. I have worked on problems in symmetric dynamical systems theory, pattern formation, the fluid mechanics of thermal convection, viscous fluid coiling, the stick-slip dynamics of sliding interfaces, mathematical epidemiology and population dynamics. Recent and current projects include: localised states in pattern-forming systems dynamics near robust heteroclinic cycles instabilities in thin liquid crystal films functional responses in predator-prey models information spread over networks I am Director of the Bath Institute for Mathematical Innovation (Bath IMI) which supports mathematical activities across campus and develops collaborative projects between mathematical sciences and other departments, and with external partner organisations.
