Research interests
My research area is elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations and applications in geometry and physics. I have been mostly working on fully nonlinear equations, including the Monge-Ampère equation, Hessian equations, prescribing curvature equations , and applications in affine geometry, conformal geometry, optimal transportation, and reflector antenna design. I have also done some work in the mean curvature equation and mean curvature flow, and some other topics. Parabolic equations have been frequently used in my papers as gradient flows to geometric or variational problems, and played a critical role.
