" Who is he that is rich ? He who rejoices in his lot."
" Who is he that is mighty ? He who subdues his (evil) inclination."

The Talmud - Aboth Treaty - Chapter IV

" L'homme raisonable est celui qui ne s'afflige pas de ce qu'il n'a pas,
mais se rejouit de ce qu'il a."
" Le courageux n'est pas seulement celui qui l'emporte sur les ennemis,
mais celui qui l'emporte sur les plaisirs.
Certains regnent en maitres sur les cites, mais sont dans l'esclavage des femmes."

Research Interests

My research focuses on the development, analysis and applications of numerical methods to solve partial differential equations. My main interest is in partial differential equations of hyperbolic and elliptic types with applications to wave propagation problems in Seismology and Electromagnetism. My fields of interest include wave propagation problems and inverse problems.
