Published multiple papers, such as 'Shock interactions, turbulence and the origin of the stellar mass spectrum' and 'A conservative adaptive wavelet method for the shallow-water equations on staggered grids'.
Research Experience
Served as a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. Research areas include fluid turbulence, applications of wavelet transforms, and simulation of complex geometries.
Education
Previously affiliated with CMLA, École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (France), LMD, École Normale Supérieure (Paris, France), DAMTP, University of Cambridge (United Kingdom), and Physics, University of British Columbia (Canada).
Background
Research interests primarily focus on the theory and computation of fluid turbulence, with a special interest in numerical methods based on the wavelet transform. The goal is to combine several recent discoveries to develop a new approach to turbulence modeling.
