Tokuhiro ETO has been studying geometric evolution equations using both analytical and numerical methods. In particular, he has focused on contact angle problems for the mean curvature flow equation and the Mullins-Sekerka problem. He is also involved in using deep learning techniques to solve these free boundary problems.
