Research Interest – Analysis of Partial Differential Equations:

  • Fluid Mechanics: boundary layers, vanishing viscosity limit, optimal mixing, well-posedness of the fluid equations.
  • Elasticity: anisotropic elastostatics in generalized polyhedral domains (with applications to the Finite Element and Generalized Finite Element Methods), quasi-static crack formation, elastic dislocations, wave propagation in anisotropic elastic media.
  • Inverse Problems: uniqueness and reconstruction of elastic moduli in anisotropic elasticity, determination of elastic dislocations in seismology, parameter estimation for Kolomogorov equations.
