Razvan Fetecau is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics at Simon Fraser University. He has research interests in the general area of nonlinear differential equations, particularly focusing on mathematical models for self-collective and swarming behavior. His work explores complex aggregation behaviors that result from simple interaction rules, without the need for a leader or external coordination. He has contributed significantly to the mathematical analysis of various nonlocal aggregation models and their applications in fields like population biology, robotics, and opinion formation. In his previous research, he has also studied regularizations of fluid dynamics equations, wave propagation in stratified media, and developed symplectic integrators for non-smooth Lagrangian mechanics. Fetecau completed his Ph.D. in Applied and Computational Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology in 2003.
