Research  Interests

Functional Analysis and Harmonic Analysis especially where Operator Theory, Function Theory and real variable methods on the disk interact closely. This research centres around the study of properties of such spaces as De Branges Spaces, BMOA, Hardy Spaces and the operators and functions defined on them.

Published numerous research papers in major international journals many of which have been cited in books and papers.

Successfully guided two doctoral students whose work has been well received. Currently guiding one doctoral student. Their work has been connected with some aspects of De Branges Spaces and Invariant Subspaces. Successfully guided nine students for their M.Phil. dissertations.

Also published papers on topics in elementary mathematics where new ingenious proofs of well known classical results are presented.
