I study inverse problems for partial differential equations, with an emphasis on scattering theory and wave phenomena, motivated by questions in imaging and detection.

My thesis work focuses on direct and inverse scattering problems for the biharmonic wave equation arising in thin elastic plates. I am interested in the relationship between the scattered field and the underlying geometry and material properties of an unknown scatterer, and in what can be recovered from boundary and scattering measurements. My work develops rigorous and computationally efficient qualitative methods for reconstructing scatterers with limited a priori information.
