Research

Research Interests

My research interests include nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations, hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, compressible fluid dynamics and the Euler equations, shock formation, singularity development, and radar signal processing.

I also like my research to connect, whenever possible, with real-world problems whose solutions can help others.
