Education:

Ph.D. in Mathematics, Princeton Univ., 1991 M.A. in Mathematics, Princeton Univ., 1988 A.B. in Mathematics, Princeton Univ., 1987

Specialties:

Applied Math
Analysis

Research Interests: Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, Applied Mathematics, Thin films, Image Processing, Swarming

I am interested in applied problems involving nonlinear PDE. Most of my research is directly in or motivated by fluid dynamics. I study problems in thin liquid films, nonlinear PDE for image processing, and nonlinear dynamics of swarms.
