Nominator's project description

Professor Maistrenko is a world-leading scientist in nonlinear dynamics and complex systems, with an accent on mathematical modeling for challenging applications. He has made fundamental contributions on complex networks and has found virtual chimera, a novel phenomenon in complex systems. It has become a basis for neuromorphic and reservoir computing, a novel branch of machine leaning. During his stay in Germany, he will work on uncovering hidden mechanisms of blackouts in modern power grids which cost businesses more than $150 billion annually
