My research addresses fundamental questions in nonlinear dynamics and their application to classical, semiclassical and quantum physics, with an emphasis on chaotic transport. My current work can be classified into four main focus areas: (i) Theory of phase space transport and symbolic dynamics; (ii) Applications of nonlinear dynamics to AMO (atomic, molecular, and optical) physics; (iii) Geometry of front propagation and swimmer transport in fluid flows; (iv) Nonlinear dynamics of active materials. My work is highly interdisciplinary, bridging areas of physics, engineering, and mathematics.
