Research description:
My research combines numerical analysis, computational experiment, and rigorous mathematical analysis to understand nonlinear problems with a focus on fluid dynamics and turbulence. I have developed both the theoretical and numerical basis for the equations of motion, tested them computationally in realistic settings, and proved theorems that guide practical choices for the models. I am also branching out to the area of data-driven modeling and Machin Learning.

Research Interests:
My research interest is in arithmetic geometry and mathematics education. In algebraic geometry I study inverse Galois problems in the context of function fields of curves defined over fields of positive characteristic. That subject uses techniques from commutative algebra, number theory, group theory, representation theory, and topology. I am also very active in curricular innovations at CSUN and beyond with particular focus on transition points like high school to university or undergraduate to graduate.
