Adilson E. Motter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adilson E. Motter, born January 1, 1974, is a Brazilian-born American-based scientist working at Northwestern University. Motter's research is focused on complex systems and nonlinear phenomena, primarily involving chaos, fractals, statistical physics, complex networks and systems biology.

[edit] Scientific activity

Motter has contributed with pioneering efforts in the study of nonlinear phenomena in complex systems. He is credited for solving the paradox of heterogeneity in the synchronization of complex networks [1],[2] and devising local methods for cascade control in distributed systems [3]. In other areas he is known for accommodating the formalism of chaos theory within general relativity [4] and establishing the three degrees of separation for English words [5].
