David M. R. Hyman
My work focuses on mathematical applications in volcanology and hazards studies.
My main expertise includes the analysis and numerical solution of dynamical systems (especially nonlinear PDEs) as well as probability theory. I have applied these techniques to models of geophysical flows (e.g., lava and debris flows, dome degassing), developing probabilistic volcanic cloud detection and characterization methods, and analysis of probabilistic hazards maps.
