Prof. Dr. Theo Geisel received the 2009 German-French Gentner-Kastler prize by the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (German Physical Society) and the Société Française de Physique (French Physical Society) for his outstanding contributions to nonlinear dynamics. He applied the theory of nonlinear dynamics (commonly known as chaos theory) to various complex systems, like chaotic transport in semiconductor nanostructures, spreading of epidemics or fundamental concepts of brain function.
