I'm a member of the mathematics faculty at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Nevada Reno. I graduated from Indiana University Department of Mathematics where I received my PhD under the supervision of Ciprian Foias. After that I was supported by an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with Edriss Titi in the Department of Mathematics at University of Califormia Irvine. My research interests are Navier-Stokes equations, dynamical systems, fractal dimensions and turbulence. Techniques used include functional analysis and large-scale numerical simulation. I'm currently working on the normal form of the Navier-Stokes equations, the Lagrangian averaged Navier-Stokes alpha model of turbulence, numerically determining modes, almost homogeneous spaces and the bioremediation of contaminated soil.

I have two children, one named Maanasi and the other named Rehana. Don't forget the puppy named Bella.

I built a Beowulf cluster called PDEwulf to use in my research.
