Research
I am interested in applying mathematics to physical problems, especially nonlinear wave phenomena. In the past, I have studied problems related to Bose-Einstein Condensates, Fluid Mechanics, Plasma Physics and Lattice Dynamics. I use and develop both analytical and numerical methods. I have done this using a variety of mathematical techniques from such different fields as Integrable Systems and Solitons, Dynamical Systems, Hamiltonian Dynamics, Riemann Surfaces and Algebraic Geometry, Lie Algebras, Complex Variables, Asymptotics and Perturbation theory. More detail, including links to my publications, can be found on my research page .Some of my work with Katie Oliveras, leading to significant results by others, was highlighted in Quanta magazine in 2025. That article got many (non scientific) details wrong. We have posted a version with our corrections.
