From theoretical to applied, we present curiosity driven research which
goes beyond classical dynamical systems theory and (i) extend the notion
of chaos to actions of topological semigroups, (ii) model how the human
bone renews, (iii) study transient dynamics as it occurs e.g. in
oceanography, (iv) understand how to protect houses from hurricane
damage. The talk introduces concepts from topological dynamics,
mathematical biology, entropy theory and mechanics.
