The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. We should be grateful for it and hope that it will remain valid in future research and that it will extend, for better or for worse, to our pleasure, even though perhaps also to our bafflement, to wide branches of learning.
My general area of interest is differential geometry and its applications to mathematical physics, control theory and dynamical systems. More specifically, my work concerns the geometrical aspects of non-conservative mechanical systems. I'm particularly interested in the symmetries, integrability and reduction methods for such systems.
