Research interests
include a wide range of topics in applied mathematics, nonlinear waves and theoretical physics. Among them are laser fusion and laser-plasma interaction; dynamics of fluids with free surface, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and nonlinear interactions of surface waves; theory of the wave collapse, singularity formation and its application to plasma physics, hydrodynamics, biology and nonlinear optics; bacterial aggregation, chemotaxis, cell-cell interactions. collapse of bacterial colonies, stochastic Potts model of biological cell; pattern formation in photorefractive crystals and other nonlinear optical media; high-bit-rate optical communication; dispersion-managed optical fiber systems; soliton propagation in optical systems; high performance parallel simulations of optical fiber systems; Bose-Einstein condensation of ultracold dipolar gases.
