Research

I'm interested in partial differential equations and integral equations with applications in mechanics, electromagnetic theory and population models. My current studies concern the scattering of electromagnetic waves by metallic or dielectric obstacles, integral viscoelastic models with singular kernels and epidemic models with diffusion. There is an emphasis in my work on variational formulations which lead to numerical algorithms.
