Research- Mathematic, Physic, Sociality
There’s nothing wrong with my verbal skills. It only seems that way because my math skills are so high. -Dilbert
Personal Information:
My name is Anand Jayaraman. I got my PhD in Physics from University of Pittsburgh. I have held research positions at Duke University and Penn State University. I was associated with the Pritchard Fluid Mechanics lab when I was at Penn State; while at Duke I held positions at both the Mathematics and the Physics departments. I currently live in the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington.
I am from India. I come from Trichy district in Tamilnadu. I did my B.tech in Engineering Physics at Bombay, India at the Indian Institute of Technology.
Research Interests: Finance, Physics and Mathematics. In particular the application of mathematics in solving variety of problems. The „unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in solving physical problems“ amazes me ( I am, of course stealing Eugene wigner’s quote ). My thesis research involved using the techniques of nonlinear dynamics in analyzing the Vlasov equation. My research interests include non-newotnian fluid dynamics, pattern formation thin-film dynamics and spatiotemporal chaos. Currently, my research efforts have been directed towards financial applications; specifically the presence of non-random behavior in commodities and stock prices has really intrigued me. Does presence of non-random behavior automatically imply existence of stratergies that „beat the market“? Is there a ‚chaotic‘ component to the price movements?
Other Interests:
-

-
Anbagam
-
Movies. Just about any kind.
