Research Description

Sung-Jin Oh is an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics.  He is interested in geometric PDEs, especially those which originate from physics. He enjoys thinking about these PDEs since their understanding requires combining ideas from a diverse range of fields, such as harmonic analysis, differential geometry and physics. Specific equations that he has considered so far include the Yang-Mills equations, Einstein equations, various Chern-Simons theories, wave maps, incompressible Euler equations and incompressible extended MHD equations.
