Research Interests<\/h1>\n

My research focuses on mathematical models, generally of social organisms, from the perspective of kinetic theory. At the discrete level, I design and implement interacting particle and agent-based models. I use these models in the context of fish migration, human gang rivalries, and gang territorial development, and I am now also working on models for pedestrian dynamics, particularly in stressful situations. I am interested in the kinetic and hydrodynamic limits of this type of model, especially if the model undergoes a phase transition as parameters are varied. I have studied these phase transitions at the microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic scales.<\/p>\n
