I am Professor of Mathematics at the University of Houston. My research is in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations. I have studied systems of conservation laws which are nonstrictly hyperbolic or which change type from hyperbolic to elliptic in steady or unsteady flow. Systems with this behavior arise in models for multiphase flow in porous media, and in two-phase compressible and incompressible flow. With Suncica Canic and Eun Heui Kim, I am working on the analysis of self-similar solutions of systems of conservation laws in two space dimensions.

Some simulations of two-dimensional self-similar solutions have been displayed by Namrata Shirude .

On July 1, 2004, I began a three-year term as Director of The Fields Institute.
