Research summary

Yuji Kodama works in mathematical physics, focusing on soliton solutions of nonlinear wave equations (such as the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili, or KP, equation) and their connections to algebraic structures like Lie algebras, theta functions, and combinatorics. His work bridges pure mathematics and applied topics like shallow water wave patterns, with occasional forays into engineering applications such as tire and rubber friction simulation. Students would engage with topics blending integrable systems theory, algebraic geometry, and nonlinear dynamics.

Publication output was higher around 2017-2018 and has since settled into a slower, steady pace of a few papers per year through the mid-2020s.
