Research

  • In my Ph.D. thesis I proved upper bounds on the growth of high Sobolev norms of solutions of nonlinear Schrödinger equations using almost conserved quantities. In my subsequent work I considered the Gross-Pitaevskii hierarchy on a periodic domain with the aim of studying uniqueness of solutions to this system. In addition, I have studied the non cut-off Boltzmann equation. More recently, I have worked on the derivation of Gibbs measures of nonlinear Schrödinger equations from many-body dynamics.
