I am a researcher fascinated by how complex behaviour emerges when systems are no longer smooth. My work focuses on nonsmooth dynamical systems, where sudden changes, thresholds, and discontinuities play a central role in shaping dynamics. 

What motivates my research is the observation that many real-world systems, from engineering to biology, do not evolve smoothly. My work explores how discontinuities influence system behaviour, including the formation of sliding regions and trajectory collisions, and how these features lead to rich dynamics such as local and global bifurcations, multistability, chaos, and rare transitions. 

Through a combination of mathematical theory, large-scale computation, and real-world motivation, I study these effects in systems ranging from mechanical stick–slip motion to ecological models with multiple thresholds.
