My research focuses on initial and boundary value problems derived from tumor growth models, which typically involve Cahn-Hilliard-type equations. Specifically, I aim to conduct a theoretical analysis of the analytical properties of these problems, such as the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions, as well as their associated control problems.
