Current research

The main subject of my research is nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), and in particular I focus on the study of PDEs appearing in optimal control theory, differential game, mean field game, and geometric flow. More specifically, I have worked on Hamilon-Jacobi- Bellman equations, mean curvature equations, the system of HJB equations and Fokker-Planck equations, and related nonlinear PDEs, and got some of fundamental results in mathematical science. In particular, I am interested in several connections between PDEs and other fields. For instance, I have established a connection between stochastic optimal control and PDEs in terms of weak Kolmogorov-Arnold-Mose theory. Also, I am working on problems related to crystal growth and mean field games.
