Self-introduction
My research interests are theory of dynamical systems and their applications (both to mathematics, an other areas of science). For systems of reaction-diffusion equations, eexistence of steady state solutions, traveling wave solutions, periodic solutions etc. and their stability are main research topics. I am aiming at using these mathematical results to some models of mathematical biology.
