My name is Théo Lavier and I am a PhD student at Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh University. In this website you will find my publications, talks, CV, and teaching.

Research Interests

My research interests lie primarily in optimal transport and its interesections with fluid mechanics. I have spent the majority of my PhD working on using semi-discrete optimal transport to prove the existence and regularity of solutions to the compressible semi-geostrophic equations. These equations are used to study the evolution of weather fronts. Going forward I want to work on optimal transport theory and applying it to study Euler’s equations, the Navier-Stokes equations, and the magnetohydrodynamic equations.

I am also interested in developments in maths education and developing courses that implement the newest research about how to effectively teach maths.
