About this person

He is known for his work on nonlinear systems, including contributions to the study of synchronization in dynamical systems, and his research in a variety of areas of applied mathematics, including mathematical biology and complex network theory. With Duncan Watts, he developed the Watts-Strogatz model to explain how nodes in a small-world network have in average a small number of degrees of separation.
