My research involves interactions between partial differential equations (PDE), numerical schemes, applied probability, and computer science. I am interested in both the rigorous analysis of PDE, and the development and implementation of algorithms. It is exciting when mathematical analysis and insights can lead to more efficient algorithms. A continuing theme in my current research is finding continuum limits for discrete combinatorial problems. I am particularly interested when these continuum limits involve solving nonlinear PDEs, and have applications in science and engineering.
