Research

My research interest lies on analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations. Currently, I am working on free boundary problem with nonlinear mixed-type PDEs arising from fluid mechanics. In particular, my recent research is focused on smooth/non-smooth transonic flows of Euler system/Euler-Poisson system.
