Research

I am interested in the general area of numerical computation and applied analysis of physical problems.

I have conducted research in numerical and applied analysis of hyperbolic conservation laws, kinetic theory, Hamilton-Jacobi equations and front propagations, computational fluid dynamics, and high frequency waves.
