Research

My research interests include fluid mechanics, partial differential equations, computational mathematics and the associated numerical analysis, oceanography, coastal engineering and mathematical economics. Most of my research has been done with a collection of excellent collaborators whose identity can be ascertained in the complete list of publications.
