A <physicist> whose teaching and research address pattern formation in systems away from equilibrium. His notes on the <Turing instability> show how a spatially uniform chemical state can resist uniform perturbations yet become unstable when <diffusion> is included. <Linear stability analysis> separates the reaction dynamics from the wavelength-dependent effect of <diffusion>, explaining how a preferred spatial pattern can develop.<Notes on the Turing Instability and Chemical Instabilities by Michael Cross>[Introduction and Turing Instability section: two-component reaction–diffusion equations and linearized modes]{ref}
