Prof. Dr. George Haller is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on non-linear dynamical systems, mechanical vibrations, model reduction, fluid mixing, transport, and coherent structures in turbulence. Haller's work explores the behavior of complex systems and their applications in fluid dynamics. His academic profile is available at https://mavt.ethz.ch/people/person-detail.haller.html.

George Haller is a Professor of Nonlinear Dynamics at ETH Zürich, specializing in Nonlinear Dynamical Systems, Coherent Structures, Turbulence, Applied Mathematics, and Mechanics. His research focuses on understanding the behavior of fluid flows through the identification of coherent structures, which are key to analyzing turbulence and mixing processes. Haller's work includes the development of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) as tools for identifying transport barriers and vortices in fluid dynamics. His publications explore the mathematical foundations of LCS, their detection from velocity data, and their applications in both two- and three-dimensional flows. His research bridges theoretical and applied aspects of fluid mechanics, with a strong emphasis on dynamical systems and their real-world implications.
