Research Activities

Constant mean curvature surfaces are given by solutions of a variational problem and have been studied for long time.
On the one hand, it is known that the structure equation of the constant mean curvature surface is an integrable equation.
I am working on these constant mean curvature surfaces and their generalization, harmonic maps, using theory of integrable systems.
