I currently work as a post-doc at Karlsruhe Institut für Technologie, in the wave phenomena Collaborative Research Center. I am part of the projects A14, AP8, and of the junior research group stability of nonlinear waves.

Between July 15th and November 1st 2024, I work from Leiden Mathematical Institute, in office B.W.1.37.


My research focuses on evolution PDE, and can be briefly summarized with the following keywords:

  • dispersive-diffusive equations, balance laws, reaction-diffusion equations,
  • global well-posedness, asymptotic stability, spectral stability,
  • normal form transform, space-time resonances, amplitude equations, Duhamel formulation, resolvent kernel bounds.
