My work lies at the intersection of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) and their applications to fluid mechanics. Broadly, I am interested in how fluids evolve, interact and organize — both at a rigorous theoretical level and through computations.
My research spans three complementary realms:
Modeling of fluids: I study how mathematical models of fluids are derived using relaxation techniques and asymptotic limits, with an emphasis on ensuring that these models remain physically relevant and thermodynamically consistent.
Mathematical analysis of PDEs: I study the existence of weak solutions via entropy methods, as well as uniqueness, stability and long-time behavior using tools such as the relative entropy method. Besides this, I am interested in regularity conditions under which solutions conserve their energy/entropy, which connects to the study of anomalous dissipation.
Computations and applications: I explore geophysical and environmental fluid systems, including oceanic and atmospheric dynamics, plankton and coral ecosystems, and data-driven approaches. These computational directions complement the theoretical analysis, bridging rigorous PDE theory with real-world applications.
Applications of my research include compressible gases, multicomponent mixtures, anomalous dissipation, degenerate diffusion and related fluid models.
