University of Birmingham, School of Mathematics and Statistics EPSRC Research Project: Chaos, Communication and Randomness This three-year post-doctoral position is funded under the EPSRC's `Stochastic Modelling in Science and Technology' initiative. It is concerned with the active engineering topic of chaos-based communications research, and in particular with statistical aspects of chaos. Thus, it is now timely for the area to benefit from statistical research and collaboration. There are links with non-linear time series, dynamical systems and chaotic randomness. The project develops appropriate chaos-based communication models, both theoretically and computationally, and involves collaborations with both chaos and communications researchers.
