# Research

My current research interest is in mathematical physics and in particular inverse (scattering) problems. Recently I have been interested in Riemannian and Lorentzian geometry and I study nonlinear elliptic and hyperbolic equations in this abstract setting. Some model equations (and their variants) that I study are the nonlinear wave equation $(\partial_t^2-\Delta_g) u + qu^p=0$ and various Schrödinger type equations of the form $\Delta_g u + qu^p=0$, where $\Delta_g$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. I did my PhD work on elliptic biharmonic problems i.e. differential and integral, linear and non-linear, equations involving the bi-Laplacian $\Delta^2$. During my PhD I studied operators of the form $H_4:= \Delta^2 + \vec{q}\cdot\nabla + V$ where $\vec{q}$ and $V$ are functions from some suitable function spaces. I also work on numerical implementations of the theoretical results.

The following subjects (in no particular order) are close to my heart

• Mathematical physics: scattering theory
• Inverse problems
• Topics of partial differential equations, operator theory, integral equations
• Numerical implementations
