dynamical systems

Focus of Research:

The primary aim of my research is to develop dynamical systems tools in order to explore the qualitative behavior of evolving systems. In particular, I am interested in studying bifurcations of nonlinear waves and their stability in a variety of applications, including optics and neuroscience.
