Celso Grebogi

Celso Grebogi (born July 29, 1947 in Curitiba ) is a Brazilian physicist who deals with chaos theory.

Grebogi graduated from Parana State University in Curitiba with a degree in chemical engineering in 1970 and was an assistant professor at the Pontifical Catholic University in Rio from 1971 to 1974. He then studied physics on a Fulbright scholarship at the University of Maryland with a master's degree in 1975 and a doctorate in 1978. He was a post-doctoral student at the University of California, Berkeley . In 1981 he was back at the University of Maryland, where he became an associate professor in 1990 and a professor of mathematics in 1993. In 2001 he became a professor at the University of Sao Paulo and since 2006 he has been a professor at the University of Aberdeen .

Grebogi initially dealt with plasma physics before turning to chaos theory. In addition to theoretical work, he makes extensive use of computer simulations. He is also interested in applications in biology.

He is best known for a fundamental work on chaos control with Edward Ott and James A. Yorke in 1990.

In 2012 he was a visiting researcher at the University of Freiburg.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh . He received the Humboldt Research Award (1996) and is an honorary doctorate from the University of Potsdam (1997), where he was visiting professor in 1996/97. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, the Third World Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society (1991) and the Institute of Physics . Grebogi is a member of the Max Planck Society and of the Academia Europaea since 2019 .

In 2016 Thomson Reuters named him one of the favorites for a Nobel Prize ( Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates ) due to the number of his citations .
