Miguel Angel Fernández Sanjuán is a Physicist from Leon, Spain. He works in nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and control of chaos,[1] and has published several scientific papers. He is a foreign member of Lithuanian Academy of Sciences.[2] Together with Celso Grebogi (University of Aberdeen, UK) he was the editor of the book Recent Progress In Controlling Chaos. He has authored a book in Spanish called Las Matemáticas y la Física del Caos (Mathematics and Physics of Chaos) which is co-authored by Manuel de Leon of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, CSIC. His active Spanish blog greatly helped common public to improve the basic understanding of chaos theory and complexity, and he had written some popular articles in Spanish newspapers.[3][4] He was a Professor at the University of Valladolid during the 1982–1984 period and later he became a Professor at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, 1986-1997. Currently Miguel A. F. Sanjuán is a professor of Physics at Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid, Spain.[5] He is also the Director of the Department of Physics and the Director of the Research Group on Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos Theory and Complex Systems. He is an Editorial Board Member of several international journals. He had coauthored several scientific articles with Celso Grebogi, Edward Ott, James A. Yorke , Ying-Cheng Lai and Lock Yue Chew. Prof. Miguel AF Sanjuán acted as Faculty Sponsor of the Doctorate Honoris Causa granted to Prof. James A. Yorke by the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, Spain, on January 28, 2014.
Contributions
He and his co-authors (Judy Kennedy, Edward Ott and James A. Yorke) have explored a fluid flow which is temporally periodic flow with a time varying perturbation and they showed the presence of indecomposable continua associated to the chaotic dynamics of the fluids.[6] He was the first to prove numerically the Wada properties of the exit basins of an open Hamiltonian system.[7]
