Research interests
My research philosophy:
In my view, mathematical modelling is an essential component of scientific investigations. Modelling involves combining intellectual creativity, physical knowledge, and mathematical techniques to understand the properties of the mechanisms underlying a physical phenomenon and make predictions.
My particular interest lies in developing and using a combination of analytical, statistical and computational tools. In particular, my curiosity draws me to physical problems that can be described by nonlinear partial differential equations, random field models, or a combination of both. By utilizing these techniques, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of physical phenomena and make predictions that can be tested through experimentation in field or in the lab.
