    I am a third year Ph.D. student at The University of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Prof. Tadahiro Oh.


    Research Interests:

    Nonlinear partial differential equations and (singular) stochastic PDEs. In particular, study of (deterministic and probabilistic) nonlinear dispersive PDEs, using the techniques from PDEs, harmonic analysis, and probability.
