Thomas Witelski is a Professor of Mathematics at Duke University, specializing in fluid dynamics and differential equations. His research focuses on the mathematical modeling of complex fluid behaviors, including thin film rupture, dewetting dynamics, and nonlinear diffusion processes. Witelski's work explores the stability and evolution of self-similar solutions, as well as the interplay between van der Waals forces and viscous effects in thin liquid films. He also investigates the mathematical principles underlying pattern formation, coarsening dynamics, and the behavior of solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations. His research has applications in materials science, biophysics, and engineering.
