Biography

Mike R Jeffrey is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol, where he engages in fundamental mathematics focusing on geometrical asymptotics. His research explores qualitative features of the world, particularly in the context of dynamical systems and singular discontinuous phenomena. Jeffrey's work aims to delve into the mathematics necessary to understand life and technology and their interactions, highlighting the unpredictability of the world due to the presence of singularities and discontinuities. This research is essential in modeling decision-making processes and biological or electronic regulation, where unexpected outcomes arise. He has been involved in collaborative projects addressing the behavior of dynamical systems, receiving a Career Acceleration Fellowship to investigate asymptotics in interacting systems.
