My research has focused mostly on infinite dimensional Hamiltonian systems that admit a Lax pair or a zero curvature condition and can be studied via an inverse scattering/spectral method. I have been particularly interested in mathematically rigorous treatments of asymptotic problems like the investigation of long time asymptotics,
semiclassical high frequency asymptotics, zero dispersion limits and continuum limits of solutions of initial and
initial-boundary value problems for nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations
and nonlinear lattices, with particular attention to delicate "universal model" problems displaying intricate instabilities.
I have used and extended techniques from PDE theory, complex analysis, harmonic analysis,
potential theory and algebraic geometry. Along the way, I have made contributions to the analysis of
Riemann-Hilbert factorisation problems on the complex plane or a hyperelliptic Riemann surface and the
related theory of variational problems for Green potentials with harmonic external fields.
In a sense I have worked on a "nonlinear/non-commutative microlocal analysis" that
generalises the classical theory of stationary phase and steepest descent;
for a detailed exposition of this point of view see this review article.
