Teaching

I will be on sabbatical leave in University of Tokyo and University of Würzburg during the 2011 --- 2012 academic year.

Research

My current research interests center around partial differential equations, calculus of variations and their applications in complex fluids.



  • Energetic Variational Approaches
  • Biology and Physiology
  • Liquid Crystals
  • Mixtures and Interfaces, Grain Growth, Evolution of Surfaces
  • Viscoelastic Fluids and Polymeric Materials
