Matthew Novack works in mathematical analysis of fluid dynamics, focusing on the equations that describe how fluids and gases move (such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations) and how energy is conserved or lost in turbulent flows. A central theme is proving mathematically rigorous results about turbulence and irregular ('non-smooth') solutions using a technique called convex integration, which helps construct unusual solutions to these equations. His work bridges pure mathematical analysis with questions originally motivated by physics, such as the famous Onsager conjecture about energy dissipation in fluids.
