Research

Research Interests Applications of probability and stochastic processes to problems involving flow and/or dispersion. Mathematically this involves the interplay between probability and pdes as a two-way avenue. Example areas of application include fluid flows, cash flows, and dispersion of solutes in heterogeneous porous media.
