He has just been awarded a Humboldt Fellowship to conduct research in Germany.
He has worked on a diverse group of problems, including shock wave theory, symmetry breaking bifurcations, Yang-Mills equations, Dirac equations, and general relativity. His current interests focus mainly on shock wave cosmology in general relativity, and decay of solutions to the Dirac equation and wave equation in curved spacetime.
