Jon Wilkening works on the mathematics and numerical simulation of water waves, including standing, traveling, and spatially quasiperiodic wave patterns on the ocean surface, as well as related mathematical physics problems like Dirichlet-Neumann boundary operators and diffusion processes. His work combines rigorous mathematical analysis (proving that certain wave equations have well-defined solutions) with the development of computational algorithms to simulate wave behavior. This research could interest students in applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, or scientific computing who want to study ocean wave phenomena using both theoretical and numerical tools.
