Regular biography
Tristan Buckmaster is a Professor of Mathematics at New York University, Department of MATH. His research focuses on singularity formation in compressible fluids, self-similar blowup in incompressible fluids, and the development of a mathematically rigorous framework for wave turbulence. His work includes applying convex-integration techniques to prove non-uniqueness results for weak solutions to fluid equations. He was awarded the 2019 Clay Research Award for joint work with Vlad Vicol on non-uniqueness of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. His research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Simons Foundation.
Scholar-generated biography
Tristan Buckmaster is a Professor of Mathematics at New York University, specializing in Partial Differential Equations and Fluid Dynamics. His research focuses on the mathematical analysis of fluid dynamics, particularly the behavior of solutions to equations such as the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations. Buckmaster's work explores phenomena like nonuniqueness of weak solutions, anomalous dissipation, and shock formation in turbulent flows. He has made significant contributions to understanding the regularity and singularities of solutions in fluid dynamics, including the study of Onsager's conjecture and convex integration techniques. His research also extends to ideal magnetohydrodynamics and the long-time behavior of nonlinear wave equations.
