Mathematics
I'm a recent PhD (graduated from UC Berkeley's Mathematics department in 2006) and a current Instructor (Post-Doc) at MIT's Applied Mathematics Department.
I'm mainly interested in the mathematical solution of physical and biological problems. I've looked at optimization problems, non-linear advection, inhomogeneous diffusion, numerical methods for conservation laws, and, curiously, asymptotic results in combinatorial problems.
Most of my publications and preprints can be found on the arXiv.
My resume is available here.
I wrote a research statement for my NSF grant proposal. It focuses on the aggregation topics, but it's a good start for me.
Want to see some pictures? (Mainly of my daughter Katya...)
Past Teaching
Some Notes
- 2005 Siam conference on Dynamical systems (snowbird). Some ideas and thoughts.
Rock Climbing
Pet projects
- Recipes
- Code Snippets
- LaTeX stuff
- omath An attempt with Scott Morrison and others to write an open algebra system with similar syntax to Mathematica(TM). We didn't get very far...but it was fun.
- Bookly UC Libraries do not allow patrons to renew all their books at one click. Nor do they allow for automatic renewal. This website provide this service for free.
- Alaska Road Trip Rahel and I went on a long road trip in 2002.
