Research Interest(s):

partial differential equations, applied mathematics

Professional Research

My research is on systems of nonlinear elliptic & parabolic partial differential equations with applications to materials. I am currently investigating properties of solutions to systems
that describe liquid crystals in two or three dimensions, including the the nature of defects in these materials
