Research interests: I am interested in various areas of pure and an applied mathematics. My research is on the analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) and, more specifically, focuses on kinetic theory: transport  kinetic equations, hydrodynamical limits and the physical properties of mesoscopic models. It involves pure PDE methods (energy estimates, Cauchy problem) as well as geometry (billiards in convex domains) and measure theory (concentration phenomena). Recently I started working in fluid mechanics as well. Most of my work concerns problems arising directly from physics and I therefore mainly look for constructive proofs.
