Mike Jeffrey is Professor of Applied Mathematics at the School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, University of Bristol. He is a mathematical physicist by training, have obtained his PhD working in singular optics under Sir Michael Berry, before becoming interested in extending such ideas to modern applications in engineering and biology. He worked briefly at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Bath, but for 13 years has been in the Department of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Bristol, where he is now a Professor of Applied Mathematics. He is best known for his work on dynamical systems with discontinuities, and introducing the idea of Hidden Dynamics of switching.
