Postdoctoral Researcher in Dynamical systems, Fluid Dynamics or other nonlinear PDEs, Convex optimization
Dr. David Goluskin seeks to hire one Postdoctoral Researcher, who will develop and apply new methods for studying nonlinear ODEs and PDEs using tools of convex optimization. These tools include sum-of-squares polynomials, semidefinite programming, and other types of conic programming; they can be used to study a wide range of dynamical properties, such as averages, extrema, and stability. Computation is essential to the research, but analytical questions can be studied also. The methods will be applied to various differential equations of scientific interest, including fluid dynamical PDEs. A PhD in mathematics or a closely related field is required by the start date. Applicants should have strong computational skills, as well as experience with one or two of the following topics: Dynamical systems Fluid dynamics or other nonlinear PDEs Convex optimization
