From Fall 2023, I am an Assistant Professor at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. I am also a Courtesy Assistant Professor at Oregon State University.

During the academic year 2022-2023, I was an Assistant Professor and Pathway Coordinator at Eastern Oregon University. Prior to that, I was a postdoc at Brigham Young University (2020-2022) and Oregon State University (2018-2020).

Partial Differential Equations, Probability, Fluid Dynamics, Numerical Analysis

Description

I investigate differential equations from analytic, probabilistic, and numerical perspectives. My current projects are on:

• regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations,
• symbiotic relations between the Navier-Stokes equations (or related differential equations such as the alpha-Riccati equation, the Burgers equation, the KPP equation, the Montgomery-Smith equation) and the associated stochastic cascades,
• singularities of the complex Burgers equation,
• numerical simulations and Monte Carlo simulations for fluid flows,
• hydrodynamic stability of plane Couette flow and Rayleigh-Bénard convection.

If you are interested to be involved in a project, either at an undergraduate or graduate level, please feel free to contact me.
