In this thesis we consider three-dimensional dynamical systems in the neighbourhood of a singular point with rank-one and rank-two resonant eigenvalues. We first introduce and generalize here a new technique extending previous work which was described by Aziz an Christopher (201…

In this thesis we present a numerical and analytical study of modelling extremes in chaotic dynamical systems. We study a range of examples with different dependency structures, and different clustering characteristics. We compare our analysis to the extreme statistics observed …

Insects are ideal candidates for developing bio-robotic systems owing to their ability to thrive in almost any environment. For example, neurons in their exquisite olfactory sensory systems can be tapped to create a sensing platform for standoff chemical monitoring. However, for…
