Please contact me privately if you need more info about this. I know
entire Dynamical Systems group at the University of Houston and I am
familiar with their research. I am not sure if people from Rice will
be involved since they are neighbors and often go to each other seminars
but I know their Dynamical Systems group too. Actually one of them was
my undergraduate classmate in Belgrade :)

Most Kind Regards,
