I successfully defended my Ph.D in May 2013, under the supervision of Sylvia Serfaty at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. I work in the area of nonlinear partial differential equations, focusing primarily on variational methods for problems arising in mathematical physics. I also am interested in fluid equations and optimal transportation.
