Welcome

I am an assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, McGill University, and part of the Applied Math Group, and of Applied Mathematics Laboratory. I am from Mongolia, and did my PhD at Utrecht University with Rob Stevenson and Hans Duistermaat. Before coming to McGill, I was a postdoc at UCSD with Mike Holst. My mathematical genealogy page is here.

My research generally concerns differential equations and numerical analysis. Currently on my table are projects related to conformal parameterizations of Einstein's constraint equations, partial regularity of some Navier-Stokes-like equations, topologically massive gravity in 2+1 dimensional spacetime, and convergence theory of adaptive methods.

This term I am teaching a graduate and an undergraduate courses on partial differential equations.

Students and collaborators

Graduate and undergraduate students working/worked with me:
  • Ibrahim Al Balushi is starting this fall as a Master's student, and going to work on wavelets and/or image processing techniques.
  • Alexandra Tcheng has finished in 2011 her master's thesis on the Einstein constraint equations in general relativity, with an emphasis on freely specifying the extrinsic mean curvature.
  • Zhe Chen has done a summer project in 2011 with Prof. Marco Veneroni and me on convex optimization and variational methods. He was awarded an ISM Undergraduate Summer Scholarship.
  • Joshua Lackman did some research in 2011 with me on nonlinear elliptic equations.
  • Robert Gibson has done summer project in summer 2010 with Dr. Renato Calleja and me on numerical solution of wave maps equations. He was awarded an ISM Undergraduate Summer Scholarship.
