Description of Research


My research is centered in partial differential equations and geometry analysis in complex variables. My past research includes the following areas: interpolation sequences for Hardy and Bergman spaces, invariant metrics, spectral domains in several complex variables, domains with non-compact automorphism groups, and compactness in the d-bar-Neumann problem. Lately, I am interested in spectral theory of partial differential operators, especially the d-bar-Neumann and Kohn Laplacians.

Complex analysis and partial differential equations provide key tools to many areas of sciences and engineering. For example, the Laplace transform is essential in the study of mechanical vibrations and electric circuits. Many practical problems are modeled in partial differential equations. The Laplace equation has important applications to hydrodynamics, electrostatics, and heat conduction. The problems in complex analysis and partial differential equations are not only intrinsically interesting, but also have implications in other areas such as potential theory, mathematical physics, and quantum mechanics.
