PhD student
Manyu Zhao received her Bachelor’s degree in Statistics and her Master’s degree in Fundamental Mathematics from Shandong University, China. Her research focuses on nonlinear dynamics, particularly chaotic circuits, bifurcation theory, synchronization theory, parameter identification, and high-performance computing. She is passionate about applying mathematical knowledge to solve engineering problems, especially nonlinear/chaotic electronic circuits, low-power edge intelligence, and thin film transistor technology. Her research includes: (1) exploring the complex behavior of dynamical systems, aiming to understand the complex relationship between chaos and system behavior under different parameters; (2) proposing a CMOS integrated circuit architecture for simulating a dynamical network based on the human structural connectome; and (3) presenting a nonlinear analog approach based on chaotic synchronization using single-transistor oscillators for distributed sensing.
