Prof. René Lozi
Université Côte d’Azur, Department of Mathematics, Nice, France
Biography:
René LOZI is emeritus Professor at UniversityCôte d’Azur, Dieudonné Center of Mathematics, France. He completed a PhD in 1975 and the French State Thesis (on chaotic dynamical systems) under the supervision of Prof. René Thom (Fields medalist) in 1983.
In 1991, he became Full Professor at University of Nice and IUFM (Institute for teacher trainees). He has served as Director of this institute (2001-2006) and as Vice-Chairman of the French Board of Directors of IUFM (2004- 2006). He is a member of several editorial boards of international journals. In 1977, he discovered a particular mapping of the plane having a strange attractor (now, commonly known as "Lozi map").
Nowadays, his research areas include complexity and emergence theory, dynamical systems, bifurcations, control of chaos, cryptography based on chaos, and recently memristors (physical devices for neurocomputing) and artificial intelligence. He is working in those fields with renowned researchers from many countries. He received the Dr. Zakir Husain Award 2012 from the Indian Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics during the 12th biannual conference of ISIAM at the University of Punjab, Patiala, (India) in January 2015. He received the C.S. Hsu Award 2024 for distinguished scholars in Nonlinear Dynamics and Control, issued annually by the Nonlinear Science and Complexity Conferences Series, in August 2024 at the Sichan university of Yibin, China.
Since August 2023, he is Vice-President of the International Society of Difference Equations.
