Chaos, Fractals and Complexity

Tassos Bountis is Professor Emeritus of the Department of Mathematics, University of Patras, Greece. He has been the director of the Center for Research and Application of Nonlinear Systems of the University of Patras, and the Laboratory of Nonlinear Systems and Applied Analysis. In 2014 he was elected Corresponding Member of the Academy of Athens in the chair of complex systems. He was the recipient of the 2014 Charles Hermite Science Ambassador Award of Saar/Germany and the 2009 Academy of Athens Award for "Dynamical Systems". In 2015 he was elected member of the European Academy of Science and Arts, at Salzburg, Austria.
