Hopf bifurcations

[Rocketa]

Hi,

I am doing my master degree in math. I have advanced degree in Engineering. Doing a math degree just for personal interest.

One professor provides me with a research topic: generalized Hopf bifurcations leading to interesting dynamics in a Laser diode/Optics systems.

Any one has idea what Engineering and Math background may needed in order to complete this research.

Is this topic interesting? Should I take it?

Thanks!
