Research

My current research is concerned with the construction of Banach spaces by use of representation theory and discrete decomposition of these spaces.

Research interests

  • Harmonic analysis
  • Time-frequency analysis
  • Representation theory
  • Uncertainty principles
  • Frames and wavelets
  • Reproducing kernel Banach spaces
  • Sampling theory
  • Mean value operators and Radon transforms

Other research manuscripts

  • My Ph.D. dissertation titled Function Spaces, Wavelets and Representation Theory focuses on the interplay between representation theory and the theory of Banach spaces of function or distributions. In particular it suggests a generalization of the coorbit theory by H.G. Feichtinger and K. Gröchenig.
  • My master's thesis titled Uncertainty Principles contains an overview of a few different uncertainty principles. It also contains my first research contribution concerning uncertainty principles derived from representations of Lie groups. Uncertainty principles have had my interest since physics classes I took as an undergraduate.
