Research

Research interests:

• Partial differential equations, especially
• Phase field models (especially the Cahn-Hilliard equation) and their applications (e.g., tumor growth models)
• Kinetic equations from plasma physics (e.g., Vlasov-Poisson and Vlasov-Maxwell equations).

• Calculus of variations

• Optimal control
  • Optimal control theory for problems with PDE constraints
  • Shape and topology optimization via phase-field approach

• Numerical methods and simulations for PDEs
  • Finite element methods
  • Particle-in-cell methods for kinetic equations
