Sergey Denisov Professor Moscow State University, 1999 denissov at math dot wisc dot edu Research Interests: Analysis, Mathematical Physics Research Description: I work on problems in approximation theory, complex and harmonic analysis, and spectral theory. I also study mathematical theory of fluids and wave propagation. |

Mikhail Feldman Professor UC Berkeley, 1994 feldman@math.wisc.edu Research Interests: Nonlinear PDEs Research Description: I am interested in nonlinear PDE and free boundary problems. My recent research include study of shock reflection in gas dynamics, which involves study of free boundary problems for nonlinear degenerate-elliptic equations. I also work on semigestrophic system of PDE, which models atmospheric flows, and this work involves methods related to Monge-Kantorovich mass transport theory. |

Xianghong Gong Professor gong {at} math {dot} wisc {dot} edu Research Description: My research is in several complex variables and dynamical systems. I have worked on normal forms of real submanifolds in C^n. I am interested in derivative estimates for solutions of the d-bar equation on domains whose boundaries have minimum smoothness. My recent research includes using d-bar solution operators to study the stability of deformations of complex structures on a domain. |

Mihaela Ifrim Associate Professor UC Davis 2012 ifrim {at} math {dot} wisc {dot} edu Research Interests: Nonlinear PDEs, Dispersive Equations, Fluid Dynamics Research Description: Mihaela's research is in partial differential equations, more precisely she is interested in nonlinear hyperbolic PDE’s with an emphasis on fluid dynamics. Over the years her mathematical interests have broadened, extending in many directions, from incompressible to compressible flows within fluid dynamics, but also from fluids to other nonlinear dispersive hyperbolic models.  Her recent work has roughly been following two threads (i) the analysis of the two-dimensional water wave equations, which govern the evolution of a free fluid surface, or of the interface between two fluids, and (ii) the analysis of free boundary problems for several compressible Euler type flows. In addition to these two main research directions, Mihaela's research interests have also extended to the field of nonlinear wave equations, which ties directly to very interesting projects related to in General Relativity.  |

Simon Marshall Associate Professor Princeton University, 2010 marshall {at} math {dot} wisc {dot} edu Research Interests: Automorphic forms, symmetric spaces Research Description: I study problems in the analytic theory of automorphic forms, and harmonic analysis on symmetric spaces. These include questions about counting the number of automorphic forms in families, and understanding the asymptotic behaviour of eigenfunctions with large eigenvalue. |
