Research Interests
Most of my work is in quantum mechanics and covers a range of subjects from non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics to the Laplacian on non-compact manifolds. Outside this mold a recent paper concerns the Navier-Stokes equations. My objective has been to choose problems with some relation to physics, but with the overriding factor to make sure that the mathematical content is interesting and challenging.
