Research:

Applied Mathematics with a particular emphasis on atmospheric physics and computational fluid dynamics. In atmospheric physics the main research focus is on the parameterization of various physical processes. Recent work mainly deals with boundary and surface layer processes including turbulence and cloud physics. While most of the modelling development is carried out on a one- dimensional column model version, the final goal of the research is to develop parameterizations for use in the full three dimensional global circulation models (GCMs). My work also includes, general computational and theoretical fluid dynamics problems, numerical simulation of free surface problems and hydrodynamic stability.

Research:

(1) Symbolic dynamical systems, particularly cellular automata (CA), tilings, and multidimensional subshifts of finite type. Specifically: (a) Asymptotic randomization of probability measures; (b) emergence and interaction of propagating `defects' in tilings. (c) (co)homological and spectral invariants of these defect structures. (d) The hydrodynamics of particle-preserving CA.

(2) Mathematical economics, particularly game theory and social choice theory. Specifically: (a) Pyramidal democracy; (b) Relative utilitarianism (a.k.a. `range voting'); (c) Groves-Clarke `pivotal' voting mechanisms; (d) Microeconomic disequilibrium dynamics.

Research:

Combinatorics and graph theory, particularly the colouring problems and extremal problems of graphs. Many practical problems in computer science, operation research and social science can be modelled by graph theory. The solutions of the colouring problems of graphs can be applied to scheduling problems; the solutions of the problems involving planar graphs can be applied to circuit design and network design. The methods used are mathematical deduction and computer experiment.
