 Welcome! I am presently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications at the University of Minnesota. I am also an active member of the Mathematics and Climate Research Network (MCRN). My interests are in using mathematical techniques to bring a deeper understanding to applications. Recently this has involved a number of projects: Existence and stability of N-vortex equilibrium configurations in Bose-Einstein Condensates Existence and stability of relative equilibrium vortex configurations in the inviscid and weakly viscous N-vortex problems, with applications to geophysical fluid dynamics Analysis of nonsmooth dynamical systems arising from climate applications Modeling and analysis of torus canards, with applications to mathematical neuroscience For this research I have used techniques from a number of fields, including: Infinite-dimensional dynamical systems Hamiltonian systems Filippov systems Geometric singular perturbation theory and geometric desingularization Numerical continuation For more information, please see my CV (.pdf), or Publications. P.S. The movie on the left is a sequence of relative equilibria of the (1+N)-vortex problem as the circulation strength of the weak vortices tends to zero.
