I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. I have a joint position at the Department of mathematics and at the Center for Scientific Computation and Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM). Previously, I held positions at Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, the University of Paris 6, and at the Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS), Paris.
I am an applied mathematician. My research deals with various aspects of nonlinear phenomena and numerical analysis. Together with many collaborators I have been working on mathematical modeling, analysis, and numerical simulations of problems in medical sciences, biology, physics, and engineering.
Over the years, I have been very involved in math education, including K-12 education, curriculum development, undergraduate education, and mentoring and advising Ph.D. students and PostDoctoral affiliates.
This site includes a lot of information about my research and educational activities. I invite you to contact me if you are looking for advice, if you have any questions, or if you simply want to discuss science.
