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.

UNIQUENESS AND ROOT-LIPSCHITZ REGULARITY FOR A DEGENERATE HEAT EQUATION

Journal Article SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis · January 1, 2025 We consider nonnegative solutions of the quasilinear heat equation in one dimension. Our solutions may vanish and may be unbounded. The equation is then degenerate, and weak solutions are generally nonunique. We introduce a notion of strong solution that e ... Full text Cite

Jointly stationary solutions of periodic Burgers flow

Journal Article Journal of Functional Analysis · December 15, 2024 For the one dimensional Burgers equation with a random and periodic forcing, it is well-known that there exists a family of invariant measures, each corresponding to a different average velocity. In this paper, we consider the coupled invariant measures an ... Full text Cite
