Research

Partial differential equations, fluid mechanics, and control theory.

My research concerns analytical questions for nonlinear PDEs arising in fluid mechanics and control theory. I am particularly interested in compressible flows, time-periodic problems, controllability and stabilization, fluid–structure interaction, and critical-space methods.

A recurring theme in my work is the interaction between the structure of the underlying fluid model and the functional-analytic tools needed to understand its dynamics, control, and long-time behavior.

Time-periodic solutions and maximal regularity for compressible Navier–Stokes equations in Besov spaces

I am studying time-periodic compressible Navier–Stokes problems, with emphasis on existence, maximal regularity, stability, and the functional-analytic structure of the associated non-autonomous evolution problem.

Joint work with Kuntal Bhandari, Thomas Eiter, Šárka Nečasová, and Yoshihiro Shibata.

A heat-conducting rigid body in a compressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier fluid with finite interfacial thermal resistance

This project concerns a heat-conducting rigid body interacting with a compressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier fluid. The analysis combines moving-domain geometry, weak formulations, energy and entropy inequalities, compactness methods, and rigid-body dynamics.

Research themes

Broader directions

Control and stabilization of compressible flows

A major part of my research concerns controllability and stabilization for fluid models, especially one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes systems. I am interested in boundary and distributed controls, spectral obstructions, observability, and the mechanisms that determine whether a target state can be reached or stabilized.

Time-periodic PDEs

I study PDEs driven by periodic forcing and the existence and stability of periodic responses. These questions naturally lead to evolution families, periodic propagators, maximal-regularity ideas, and fixed-point arguments for nonlinear problems.

Critical-space and Besov analysis

I use Littlewood–Paley theory and Besov spaces to investigate well-posedness, nonlinear estimates, and long-time behavior near critical regularity. Transport–diffusion equations and fluid-type systems provide a natural setting for these techniques.

Nonlinear control problems

I am also interested in nonlinear control mechanisms beyond classical linearized controllability, including stabilization, approximate controllability, insensitizing controls, and other nonlinear control mechanisms for evolution equations.
