Mathieu Desroches

Ph.D.

• I did my PhD in the Applied Nonlinear Mathematics research group (University of Bristol, UK) from April 2006 to March 2009.
• My thesis dealt with the numerical study of global manifolds in slow-fast dynamical systems. This includes numerical computations (using Auto) of slow manifolds and canard orbits, continuation of canard orbits in parameter space, bifurcation analysis of singularly perturbed systems, with a view towards applications, e.g., in biology, chemistry, or neuroscience.
  
• During my PhD, I worked under the joint supervision of Dr. Hinke M Osinga and Prof. Bernd Krauskopf.
  
• Thesis: Numerical Continuation Methods for Slow-Fast Dynamical Systems. Defended on February 19, 2009.
  Internal examiner: Prof. Alan R Champneys (University of Bristol, UK).
