About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science at Bronx Community College. I received my Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in May 2011 under the direction of Jason Metcalfe. My research interests lie in Partial Differential Equations and General Relativity. In particular, I study dispersive equations on black hole backgrounds and trapped surfaces.

Interests

  • Partial Differential Equations
  • General Relativity
  • Mathematical Physics
I study the dispersive properties of the wave equation on higher dimensional black hole backgrounds. My thesis work was centered on the (n+1) dimensional hyperspherical Schwarzschild manifold. I am currently studying energy estimates on higher dimensional Kerr and Myers-Perry black holes and Strichartz estimates on trapped surfaces.
