Research

Scheel's research is concerned with patterns and waves in spatially extended dynamical systems. His results include existence, stability, and bifurcation results for coherent structures such as wave trains, invasion fronts, pattern forming fronts, defects in oscillatory media, spiral waves, or defects in striped phases such as grain boundaries and dislocations.
