  • On nonreflecting boundary conditions (248 citations)
  • Exact nonreflecting boundary conditions for the time dependent wave equation (208 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

Mathematical analysis, Boundary value problem, Mixed boundary condition, Robin boundary condition and Optics are his primary areas of study. His Mathematical analysis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Method of fundamental solutions, Wigner distribution function and Random media. His Boundary value problem research incorporates themes from Term and Mathematical economics.

His research in Mixed boundary condition tackles topics such as Neumann boundary condition which are related to areas like Singular boundary method, Free boundary problem, Isotropy and Wave equation. His study in Optics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Conservative vector field, Rectification and Bubble. The study incorporates disciplines such as Wave propagation and Mechanics in addition to Boussinesq approximation.
