Mathematical Interests 

I am interested in mathematics applied to the behavior of inhomogeneous materials, in the form of bounds and approximations which take into account statistical descriptions of the microstructure.

Materials include polycrystals, composites, laminates, and materials containing inclusions or voids. 

Physical phenomena of interest include linear behaviors (thermal and electrical conductivity, dielectricity, elasticity, piezoelectricity, etc.) and nonlinear behaviors (plasticity, elasticity, yield). 

Mathematical tools include PDE's, variational principles, Fourier analysis, calculus of variations . . .
