RESEARCH INTERESTS

Analyzing singularity formation [or the lack thereof] in nonlinear partial differential equations arising as models in 3D incompressible fluid and plasma dynamics. Mathematical theory of turbulent cascades and turbulent dissipation in 3D flows.

Of particular interest has been the study of formation of small scales and turbulent dissipation in 3D Navier-Stokes equations within a mathematical framework based on the suitably defined scale of sparseness' of the near-max super-level sets of the positive and negative parts of the vorticity components [in the context of a blow-up-type argument].
