Biography

John K. Hunter is a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on analysis and applied mathematics, specifically in areas such as wave propagation, singular perturbation theory, and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). He is particularly interested in nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs and Hamiltonian descriptions of nonlinear waves. His work explores various problems, including normal form methods for nonlinear equations, variational systems, and the behavior of shock waves in relation to transonic flow. Hunter's contributions to the field are evident through his published lecture notes and his involvement in teaching complex mathematical concepts.
