Engineering physics, nonlinear dynamics, chaos, spacecraft dynamics, environmental fluid mechanics, disease spread in hundreds of lectures across several course series and the latest research by Dr. Shane Ross, a professor in engineering and mathematics at Virginia Tech. A world renowned teacher and researcher, he has a B.S. in physics and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics (control and dynamical systems), both from Caltech. He's worked at the University of Southern California, NASA/JPL, UC San Diego, Boeing, and Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas, ICMAT, in Madrid.

Professor Ross' research group, the Ross Dynamics Lab, specializes in applications of nonlinear dynamics, performing mathematical modeling, simulation, visualization, and experiments with applications including orbital mechanics, and patterns of dispersal in oceanic and atmospheric flows. He's authored a book, more than a 100 scientific journal articles and has been funded by NSF, NASA, USDA, and the US Space Force.
