Research Advisors for Partial Differential Equations

  • Bio Item
    Guher Camliyurt , bio

    Dr. Camliyurt's research interests include mathematical fluid dynamics, nonlinear waves, and unique continuation problems for general elliptic and parabolic PDEs.

  • Bio Item
    Honghu Liu , bio

    Professor Liu's research focuses on the design of effective low-dimensional reduced models for nonlinear deterministic and stochastic PDEs as well as DDEs. Applications to classical and geophysical fluid dynamics are actively pursued. Particular problems that are addressed include bifurcation analysis, phase transition, surrogate systems for optimal control, and stochastic closures for turbulence.

    Instructor Burleson is currently engaged with teaching with an interest in computational fluid dynamics.

  • Bio Item
    Kun Huang , bio

    Dr. Huang is a Postdoctoral Associate specializing in numerical methods for kinetic equations, with a particular emphasis on applications in plasma physics.. He is currently interested in low-rank tensor methods for high-dimensional problems. He is mentored by Daniel Appelo and Yingda Cheng.

  • Bio Item
    Fangchi Yan , bio

    Dr. Yan studies partial differential equations (PDEs) that are motivated from the modeling of physical phenomena and real-world problems in general. His research focuses on the problem of well-posedness for nonlinear dispersive equations, including the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation.
