Research Interest
My research uses mathematical and computational methods to study fluid dynamics. A key interest is Rayleigh-Bénard convection and buoyancy-driven systems. Another area is mixing and the related Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Recent work focuses on singularity formation in Navier-Stokes and Euler equations.
