My main research interest is geometric analysis with emphasis currently on the theory of minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces, and mean curvature flow.

Minimal surfaces are defined as surfaces which are critical points for the area functional. The mean curvature of a minimal surface, the average of the two principal curvatures, is identically zero. Surfaces which are critical points for the area functional under a volume constraint are instead called constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces and in fact the average of the two principal curvatures is constant. Not only are there plenty of mathematical examples for both of these surfaces (for instance planes, helicoids and catenoids are minimal surfaces while spheres, cylinders and Delaunay surfaces are non zero CMC surfaces), but they can easily be realized and observed in the real world. In nature, the shape of a soap film approximates with great accuracy that of a minimal surface while soap bubbles provide the analogous approximation for CMC surfaces. In other words, a soap bubble is the least-area surface that encloses the fixed volume inside. Mean curvature flow is an example of geometric flows. When a surface moves under mean curvature flow then the normal component of the velocity at a point is given by the mean curvature of the surface at that point. The use of geometric flows such as mean curvature flow has been very fruitful in the study of a several important problems in differential geometry, image processing and mathematical physics, leading to a profound impact on each of these fields. They also arise very naturally in various physical contexts such as thermomechanics, annealing metals, crystal growth, flame propagation and wearing processes.
