I have retired as of July 1, 2025 and am now Emeritus. These pages will no longer be updated.
Research
My research interests are in analysis, applied mathematics, wave propagation, singular perturbation theory, and nonlinear PDEs, especially nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs.
Some specific problems in which I'm currently interested are:
- Hamiltonian descriptions of nonlinear waves
- Normal form methods for nonlinear PDEs
- Nonlinear, nondispersive surface waves
- Hyperbolic conservation laws
- Shock wave reflection and transonic flow
- Variational systems of wave equations
