I'm interested in degenerate elliptic PDEs and the math that goes along with them.

Currently, I'm working on lots of stuff with names like compact embedding theorems, H=W, regularity, and spectral theory.

If you are a student interested in my work, don't hesitate to contact me - Undergraduate NSERC USRA and graduate school opportunities are available.
