Research Activities

I study nonlinear partial differential equations which appear in physics, chemistry and geometry using variational methods and geometric measure theory. There is no grand unified theory for nonlinear problems but there certain are striking and surprising structures hidden in them, which keep me going further. Recently I have been studying two phase separation problem and mean curvature flow problem, particularly their regularity properties.
