Interests are broadly in the area of Cosmology, particularly on the theory/simulation side of things. Currently, I'm working on a code that uses the Boltzmann-Vlasov in a coupled Schroedinger-Poisson system. In short: quantum mechanic formalism applied to the equations of fluid dynamics. The ultimate hope is that this technique can be used to simulate the Large Scale Structure of the universe and that it will be faster, more accurate and probe further into the non-linear regime than previously proposed ideas (eg P-M, Zeldovich approx including adhesion).
