Dr. Robert Strain is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics obtained in 2005. His research focuses on mathematical analysis and non-linear partial differential equations that arise in various physical contexts. Dr. Strain has made significant contributions to the field, particularly in the areas of fluid dynamics, kinetic theory, and materials science. His work includes the study of local and global existence, uniqueness of solutions, large time sharp asymptotic behavior, convergence to equilibrium, and finite time blow-up in solutions. He investigates physically motivated partial differential equations including the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and relativistic Euler systems. He also addresses problems related to the Muskat problem, the Boltzmann equation, and Vlasov equations in both Newtonian mechanics and special relativity. Additionally, Dr. Strain serves on the editorial boards of multiple journals, enhancing the landscape of mathematical analysis and its applications.
