When a surname becomes a scientific term: chaos control by Prof. K. Pyragas2023-07-18 If you enter the keyword "Pyragas" in the social network Research Gate, the system will offer you a large number of articles by scientists from all over the world mentioning this name.
"Equivariant Pyragas control of discrete waves", "Quantum Pyragas control", "Current Oscillator Based on Pyragas Model", "Stabilization of Hyperbolic Chaos by the Pyragas Method"... Complex terms and research inspired by the work started by a Lithuanian physicist.
"I don't even know... I don't keep track of who is doing what anymore," says Professor Kęstutis Pyragas, Chief Scientist of the Department of Fundamental Research at the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC), when asked if he has counted the number of similar papers.
"But there is one I am particularly proud of. It is the 2022 article: it has both Pyragas' and the famous Schrödinger's name in one title. And now my method has been applied to quantum mechanics", laughs the physicist.
In 1992, after writing a less than 8-page article in the prestigious journal Physic Letters A on his proposed mathematical method for chaos control, he eventually became the most quoted Lithuanian scientist of all time. According to Google Scholar, he has been cited approximately 4,500 times.
Pyragas' chaos control method is used in a wide range of experiments and research, from physics, chemistry and medicine to economics, robotics and electronics.
His scientific career is impressive, but his personal story is no less strong.
