Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
Nonlinear partial differential equations
Elliptic equations; primarily stationary free-boundary flows. I have also done some work on ordinary differential, integro-differential and difference equations.
Fluid mechanics
Of particular interest are travelling water waves, free-surface flows and rotational currents. Current foci are waves with critical layers, multimodal waves and Whitham-like equations.
Current research group
