Research summary
AI-generated

Kevin Zumbrun works in applied mathematics, focusing on the mathematical analysis of fluid flows and wave phenomena. His research studies the stability of special solutions—such as shock waves and periodic 'roll waves' in shallow water or open-channel flow—using tools from partial differential equations and dynamical systems. Much of the work asks whether these structures persist or break apart when disturbed.
