ERC Consolidator Grant for Benjamin Gess at Bielefeld University for research on the impact of randomness on chaos

How can we use mathematics to capture and describe complex systems that seem to be driven by randomness? And how can we describe the fact that even the slightest fluctuations can lead to major changes in climate dynamics? Benjamin Gess at Bielefeld University focuses on mathematical structures that capture the interaction of random events and complex behavior. For his work he will receive two million Euros over a five-year period from the European Research Council Consolidator Grant.
