Professor J C Eilbeck, FRSE - Home Page
Chris Eilbeck has been at Heriot-Watt since 1973, except for the year
1983/84, which he spent at the Center for Nonlinear Studies, Los
Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico. Prior to coming to Edinburgh,
he took his undergraduate degree (BA in Theoretical Physics) at The
Queen's College, Oxford, and his PhD in the Department of Physics,
University of Lancaster. He spent a post-doctoral year at ICTP,
Trieste, followed by a spell as a RA in the Department of Mathematics,
UMIST. He was Head of Department at Heriot-Watt for the period
1984-89, and Dean of the Faculty of Science 1998-2001. He was
visiting fellow at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, Oct-Dec. 2001,
and at the Mittag-Leffler Institute, Stockholm, Nov-Dec 2005.
His current research interests are in the study
of solitons, both in
the numerical study of solitons on lattices, and the use of computer
algebra to study exact periodic and quasiperiodic solutions of soliton
and soliton-related problems in mathematical physics. One lattice
equation which he has worked on a lot is the Discrete
Self-Trapping equation, a generalized discrete Nonlinear
Schrödinger equation. Recently he has worked with Russell,
Marín and Cruzeiro-Hansson in studies of
localised lattice modes and applications to HTc.
In addition he works on the corresponding quantum problems. He
has a long-running interest in numerical and analytic studies of
reaction-diffusion systems, travelling waves
and pattern formation in physiology, embryology and ecology.
His most recent work is in the theory of Weierstrass functions for
curves of higher genus, see
the Weierstrass web
page which is under construction. This work has even lead to some
new results in the genus 1 case.
Some photographs taken at various ICMS and other meetings are
shown here.
He is a keen mountaineer and likes listening to modern jazz.
