Research

 

 

 

 

My research interest is in the areas of Banach Algebras, Harmonic Analysis and Fixed Point Properties of Semigroups. I am also interested in Boundary Value Problems of Nonlinear Differential Equations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Editing and Reviewing

 

 

 

 

I am an editor of the Banach Journal of Mathematical Analysis.

I am also a reviewer for both AMS Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt MATH.
