معرفی
Miles Wheeler is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, where he conducts research in nonlinear partial differential equations arising from fluid mechanics. He previously held positions at the University of Vienna and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, supported by an NSF fellowship. His work focuses on large-amplitude solitary waves, free surface flows, and global bifurcation theory.
His research interests include:
- Partial Differential Equations
- Fluid Mechanics and Hydrodynamics
- Solitary and Traveling Water Waves
- Vorticity and Free Surface Flows
- Global Bifurcation Theory
- Mathematical Analysis of Euler Equations
The recent publications of Miles Wheeler demonstrate a strong focus on large-amplitude and overhanging solitary waves, vortex dynamics, and exact solutions to the Euler equations. His work frequently involves rigorous analytical techniques applied to problems in fluid mechanics, particularly those involving constant or piecewise constant vorticity. He often collaborates with prominent researchers such as Robin Ming Chen, Samuel Walsh, and Adrian Constantin. His research combines deep analytical insight with applications to physical wave phenomena.
Scientific recognition includes:
- MAA Award for an expository paper in the American Mathematical Monthly (with David Lowry-Duda)
Miles Wheeler advises doctoral students, including Jonathan Sewell and Daniel Abraham. He has not mentioned specific grants, but his prior NSF fellowship indicates a history of competitive funding. He is actively involved in teaching advanced courses such as Theory of Partial Differential Equations and Advanced Real Analysis. There is no indication of lab or experimental team involvement, as his work is theoretical and mathematical in nature.
