Current projects: Effect of spatial inhomogeneities on the TGF system, Computational cell metabolism
I am mostly interested in mathematical biology projects, applications of mathematics to physiology and medicine. My current research is focused on computational renal modeling (joint work with Prof. Harold Layton) and cell metabolism (joint work with Prof. Michael Reed).
During my doctoral years in UK, I've been working on stability problems related to convection in porous media, or to special viscous fluids (generalized fluids, fluids of grade n=2,3), mainly using the energy method to establish strong unconditional nonlinear results.
