Research

I study nonlinear partial differential equations, in particular Hamiltonian dispersive PDE and Navier-Stokes. My general interests are in analysis, probablity & stochastic differential equations.

Thesis

There exist data for which the focusing cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three dimensions blows up on a ring. In higher dimensions, the proof establishes blowup on a set of co-dimension two.
