I am a Professor of Mathematics at George Mason University. Since 2002, I have been teaching a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses, mostly in the fields of analysis, differential equations, and topology. You can find more information about these courses and the students that I have advised over the years by clicking on the teaching link in the above menu bar.

Research Interests

My research is focused on the following areas:

• Dynamics of partial differential equations
• Formation and dynamics of patterns, phase separation phenomena (spinodal decomposition, nucleation)
• Computational topology and its applications
• Random and stochastic dynamical systems
