Edward Ott
Edward Ott (born December 22, 1941 in New York City ) is an American physicist who deals with chaos theory.
Ott studied electrical engineering at Cooper Union College with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and at Brooklyn Polytech , where he received his master's degree in 1964 and his doctorate in 1967 (in electrophysics ). 1967/68 he was a Fellow of the National Science Foundation at Cambridge University . From 1968 he was a professor of electrical engineering at Cornell University . From 1979 he was professor of physics and electrical engineering at the University of Maryland (College Park) . There he has the rank of Distinguished University Professor .
Ott dealt with various aspects of chaos theory and theory of nonlinear systems , including the control of chaos, chaotic dispersion and the behavior of large networks.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society , which awarded him the Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize for 2014. For 2017 he was awarded the Lewis Fry Richardson Medal .
Since 2016 Thomson Reuters has counted him among the favorites for a Nobel Prize ( Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates ) due to the number of his citations .
