In the Fall of 2004 I enjoyed my first sabbatical semester ever.


The schedule of The Paris Nord-Berkeley Analysis Seminar can be found here.


Information about journals with which I am affiliated can be found below.

  • Analysis & PDE
  • American Journal of Mathematics
  • Canadian Journal of Mathematics
  • Applied Mathematics Research eXpress
  • Methods and Applications of Analysis

  • I study mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics, more specifically scattering theory and microlocal analysis.


    Some recent talks:

  • Fractal Weyl laws in chaotic scattering , RES04, January 2004.
  • Control theory and high energy eigenfunctions, (with Nicolas Burq), Forges-les-eaux, June 2004. Here is the short note for the proceedings.
  • Fractal Weyl laws for open quantum maps , SCATT05, March 2005.
  • Quantum decay rates in chaotic scattering , Talk at Ecole Polytechnique, May 2006.
  • Soliton scattering by delta impurities , Colloque EDP Evian-les-Bains, June 2006.
  • What are the residues of resolvents of Laplacians on symmetric spaces? , Summers School: Microlocal and Geometric Methods in Representation Theory, July 2006.
  • Quantum decay rates in chaotic scattering (with Stéphane Nonnenmacher), AMS National Meeting, New Orleans, January 2007.
  • Quantum chaos in scattering theory Colloquium talks 2006/08 at First Joint CMS/SMM Meeting , Northwestern, Univ. of North Carolina, and Univ. of Washington.
  • NEW! Soliton Home Movies, a popular talk for prospective graduate students (a reasonably decent PDF viewer might be needed to see the movies)

    Theory and computation of resonances in 1d scattering: David Bindel's website (still in progress and developing) with his easy-to-use MATLAB codes for computations of resonances.

    Lecture notes: Version 0.3 for an advanced graduate course on ''Semiclassical Analysis'' (written with L. C. Evans).

    Potential scattering on the real line Old lecture notes (written with S. H. Tang).
