Hi! I'm Pat

I research nonlinear partial and ordinary differential equations that model dispersive wave phenomena.  

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of California, Merced. 

I was previously an INI-Simon's Postdoctoral Fellow at the Isaac Newton Institute, University of Cambridge and a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at North Carolina State University, working with Professor Michael Shearer.. I participated in the semester program on Dispersive Hydrodynamics. During the spring semester of 2023, I visited the Mathematics of Complex and Nonlinear Phenomena Group at Northumbria University.
