My Spring Office Hours are Tuesday 1:30- 2:30, Thursday 10:30-11:30 or by appointment.

I teach MA 44200H Honors Real Analysis II and MA 26600-402 Ordinary Differential Equations during Spring 2020. Their course pages are available on Blackboard

My research concerns partial differential equations motivated from problems in materials science and condensed matter physics, in particular applications to liquid crystals, polymers, composites, and superconductors. Currently I am working on analyzing mathematical models for nematic and smectic liquid crystals.
