Research Interests

Professor Markowich's primary research interests are in the mathematical and numerical analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) and their application in physics, biology and engineering. In particular he is interested in: classical and quantum mechanical kinetic theoryanalytical and numerical problems occurring in highly oscillatory PDEs (like semi classical asymptotics)Wigner transformsnonlinear PDEs describing dispersive and, resp., diffusive phenomenasingular perturbations and long-time asymptoticsgeneralized Sobolev inequalitiesinverse problems in solid state physicsimage processing using PDEs
