Research Interests

I am generally interested in the areas of Functional Analysis and Operator Theory. In particular my published research includes papers on:
  • the study of linear integral operators on Banach function spaces.
  • positive operators and C0-semigroups of positive operators on Banach lattices.
  • spectral properties, and compactness properties of special classes of operators, such as disjointness preserving operators.
