After many years at the University of Illinois at Chicago I now have a new home at the University of Southern California where I am a Professor in the Mathematics Department and Director of the Center for Applied Mathematical Sciences.

My research centers on the partial differential equations that describe the motion of fluids, namely the Euler and the Navier-Stokes equations. I am currently working in topics connected with fluid instabilities and mathematical models for turbulence.

I am the Editor in Chief of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society.

I am a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, UCLA. I work in a number of mathematical areas, but primarily in harmonic analysis, PDE, geometric combinatorics, arithmetic combinatorics, analytic number theory, compressed sensing, and algebraic combinatorics.  I am part of the Analysis Group here at UCLA, and also an editor or associate editor at several mathematical journals. Here are  my papers and preprints, my books, and my research blog.

I maintain a harmonic analysis mailing list and contributed to the DispersiveWiki project.  I used to maintain a harmonic analysis page for conferences and other links.
