Astrodynamics
Development of new methods to design efficient trajectories in space for future missions.
Cooperations: EU-Network AstroNet; California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA
Contact: Dr. Mirko Hessel-von Molo
- Energy efficient spacecraft trajectory along an invariant manifold

Coupled Cell Systems
Coupled Cell Systems are dynamical systems which consist of
several individual systems (cells) coupled together.
Focus of interest: Development of a transfer operator theory for coupled
cell systems and their aplication to control theory
Applications: e.g. biological networks, electrical circuits or building services engineering
Contact: Dr. Sebastian Hage-Packhäuser, Dr. Mirko Hessel-von Molo

Ocean Dynamics
Time-dependent transport maps for the Southern Ocean are useful in many ways:
they permit precise mass, heat and freshwater transport calculations for
the Antartic Circumpolar Current.
Cooperations: University of New South Wales, Australia; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Brest, France
Contact: Christian Horenkamp
- Finite-time Lyapunov exponent field for the Southern Ocean
- Visualisation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current using set-oriented numerical methods
