Professor of Mathematical Sciences

Education:

Ph.D., Brown University, 1987
B.S.E., Princeton, 1982

Research Areas:

• Statistical physics and turbulence:
  • Exactly-solvable models in 2D turbulence — a long range spherical model for energy-enstrophy theories.
• Computational Science and Vortex Dynamics:
  • Monte Carlo simulations of vortex gas/lattice statistics — computational results supporting inverse energy cascades and 2-dim ideal turbulence on the plane and sphere via modern treatments of Kraichnan's energy-enstrophy theories.
• Vortex Dynamics:
  • Relative equilibria, bifurcations, and stability.
• Symmetric Dynamical Systems:
  • Resersible Lyapunov Center Theorem.
  • Reversible pitch-fork bifurcation.
  • Applications to the Stokeslet Model.
• Combinatorial Matrix Theory
