Personal profile
I joined UNNC in August 2015. Before that I worked for 3 years at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou (PR China) and for 7 years at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig (Germany).
Expertise Summary
I am an applied mathematician working on non-linear partial differential equations. Of my particular interest are problems with geometric “side effects”, like free boundaries and free discontinuities.
