Research Interests
My research interests lie at the interface of applied mathematics, differential geometry, and discrete geometry. Specifically, I am interested in the theory of transformation groups and the method of (equivariant) moving frames, and their applications to differential equations and their finite difference approximations. In the recent years, have been using the moving frame techniques to solve differential and difference equations that admit a group of Lie point symmetries. I am also interested in symmetry-preserving numerical methods, the study of geometric submanifold flows, and the method of equivalence. If you’d like to learn more about what I do, feel free to stop by my office or check out my website!
