Research Interests

Stability of traveling waves in a variety of physically motivated systems, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, Magnetohydrodynamics, the shallow water equations, and reactive Navier-Stokes. This research lies at the intersection of numerical analysis, partial differential equations, and dynamical systems. Using rigorous verification to provide computer aided proofs of stability properties.
