This researcher works in mathematical physics and analysis, focusing on nonlinear partial differential equations that model water waves (such as Boussinesq and KdV-type systems), along with related topics in geometric analysis (curvature flows, gradient estimates) and mathematical techniques like Painlevé equations and eigenfunction analysis. The work is largely theoretical, aiming to prove existence, regularity, and structural properties of solutions to these equations. Prospective students would likely engage with rigorous mathematical proofs rather than experimental or computational physics.

Publication output has been low and irregular over the past decade, with a small, fairly steady stream of papers through 2022 followed by an apparent gap and a single upcoming 2026 publication.
