Overview


My research is primarily in the area of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE). Some specific topics of recent interest:
  • SPDE in "critical" (scale-invariant) and "super-critical" (high-dimensional) settings.
  • Ergodic theory of the stochastic Burgers equation.
In the past I have also worked on the Liouville quantum gravity metric.

Simultaneous global inviscid Burgers flows with periodic Poisson forcing

Journal Article Annales Henri Lebesgue · December 12, 2025 We study the inviscid Burgers equation on the circle T := R/Z forced by the spatial derivative of a Poisson point process on R × T. We construct global solutions with mean θ simultaneously for all θ ∈ R, and in addition construct their associated global sh ... Full text Open Access Cite
