My research is primarily centered on the formation of singularities in dynamical systems governed by nonlinear PDEs. These systems have applications in diverse fields such as fluids, biology, and optics. A significant aspect of my study involves water waves, particularly the singularities that manifest as angle formations or self-intersections on water surfaces, as seen in whitecapping events.

Ocean waves offer a rich area of exploration, especially when considering the statistical description of wave turbulence and the boundaries of weak wave turbulence theory. A standout issue in this domain is the emergence of whitecaps on steep ocean waves. These events, though infrequent, are pivotal for two reasons: they exemplify singularity formation and provide insights into the mechanisms of energy and momentum dissipation within the ocean. By examining a single whitecap, we can determine the momentum and energy directed to the capillary scale and the vorticity introduced into the fluid. Establishing a robust theory on whitecap formation could significantly enhance broader statistical models of ocean wave turbulence, furthering our understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and aiding in climate modeling.
