Research Statement

I am interested in Hamiltonian dynamical systems, in particular lattice systems and systems with symmetries. An example is the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain, which models a one-dimensional crystal. It is famous for its surprising thermodynamic properties. Keywords in my research are: Hamiltonian systems, lattices, Fermi- Pasta-Ulam, nonlinear waves, geometric mechanics, equivariant bifurcation theory, quasi-periodicity and Aubry-Mather theory.
