René Lozi is Professor at the Dieudonné Center of Mathematics, University of Nice, France. In 1991, he became Full Professor at the University of Nice and the Institute for Teacher Trainees (IUFM), France. He served as Director of IUFM during 2001–2006 and as Vice-Chairman of the French Board of Directors of IUFM during 2004–2006. He completed his French state thesis on chaotic dynamical systems under the supervision of Prof. René Thom, a Fields Medalist, in 1983. Professor Lozi currently serves on the editorial boards of respected international journals. In 1977, he discovered a particular mapping of the plane having a strange attractor (now classically known as “Lozi map”). Today, his research areas include complexity and emergence theory, dynamical systems, bifurcation, control of chaos, cryptography-based chaos, and memristors (a physical device for neuro-computing).
