His research interests are: Nonlinear partial differential Equations, with a particular focus on stochastic approaches to regularity problems; Dispersive Equations such as the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations, Fluid dynamics models such as the Navier-Stokes related Equations; Invariant measures problems in infinite-dimension. He is also interested in Universality phenomena.
Research Activities
- Organization of workshops, conferences, summer schools jointly with national and international universities/institutions at AIMS Senegal.
Supervising PhD students working as assistants of the Chair and participating in the academic activities (doctoral courses, workshops, conferences, etc.) at the Université Cheikh Anta Diop, Dakar and the University of Bielefeld in Germany.
