My research lies at the interface between mathematics and real-world physical phenomena. I model physical systems using ordinary and partial differential equations and employ functional analysis, asymptotic and perturbation analysis, and numerical methods to analyze the models in detail. Specifically, my areas of interest include linear and nonlinear wave propagation and renewable solar energy. The over-arching goal of my research is to connect between the mathematical and physical aspects arising from these problems and make reliable and useful predictions about physical systems.
