Jon Chaika works in ergodic theory, an area of dynamical systems that uses an object from abstract mathematics called a measure to understand the long term behavior of closed systems. He is interested in systems connected to low dimensional geometric topology and systems arising from billiards in polygons and smooth flows on surfaces.
