Richards' research focuses on the analysis of deterministic and stochastic nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in physics and engineering, particularly those modeling fluid dynamics and dispersive wave phenomena. His work integrates techniques from probability theory and dynamical systems to address questions of well-posedness, ergodicity, and uncertainty quantification in PDEs. Key themes include random data Cauchy theory, ergodicity of stochastic PDEs, singular stochastic dispersive equations, and applications to engineering uncertainty analysis.
Recent publications highlight his contributions to stochastic hydrodynamic stability, surrogate modeling for nuclear energy systems, and ergodic theory for dispersive equations. His work bridges rigorous PDE analysis with practical applications in turbulence and nuclear reactor design.
