I will be at Princeton (for 2008-2009) and then at UPenn (from 2009 onward).
As of June 2008 this web page is not being updated,
however my email address below will continue to forward to me.

Welcome to my homepage. I am currently (until the end of Spring 2008) a Benjamin Peirce Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics here at Harvard, and I hold a National Science Foundation Fellowship.


For the 2008-2009 academic year, I will be a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton. I also have a Tenure-Track Assistant Professorship in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, where I will start teaching in the following year.


My mathematical research has been focused on the analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations. I have written papers about the Boltzmann equation and several models derived from it, such as the Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system, the relativistic Landau-Maxwell system, the Balescu-Lenard equation, and other non-relativistic soft-potential Boltzmann and Landau models. I also work on the equations of incompressible fluid mechanics, the Navier-Stokes equations (here are my preprints).


You can find more information about me by clicking on the links in the top bar. My teaching page contains information about courses that I have taught here at Harvard.


I used to maintain the webpage for the joint MIT/Harvard Analysis Seminar. The page for our current seminar was then moved here. However up-to-date seminar information for the seminar presently resides on this page at MIT.


Here is a short list of conferences on the Analysis of PDE.
