Research Interests: My research is on numerical and theoretical methods of dynamical systems. I have done work studying global bifurcations for one-, two, and three-dimensional diffeomorphisms, and finite dimensional noninvertible maps and relations. I also study ordinary, partial, and delay differential equations modeling pattern formation in materials science, chemistry, neuroscience, and biology. This includes biological and chemical systems modeled by reaction-diffusion equations with Turing instabilities, the process of spinodal decomposition in binary and ternary metal alloys modeled by the Cahn-Hilliard equation, and phase separation in block copolymers. It also includes period-doubling cascades during the onset of complex behavior, numerical methods for studying quasiperiodicity, and rigorous computational methods for bifurcation theory.
