Research interest:

My primary research interest lies in the area of non-commutative harmonic analysis which can be regarded as an intersection of harmonic analysis and functional analysis. More precisely I am investigating properties of Banach algebras related to the locally compact groups, particularly group algebras, Fourier algebras, group C*-algebras and group von Neumann algebras and/or their connection to the unitary representations of locally compact groups. I am also very much interested in operator space theory and its application in non-commutative harmonic analysis.

Teaching:

This semester (Fall 2012), I am teaching Math 264 (Linear algebra) and Math 110 (Calculus I).

Conferences:

Canadian Abstract Harmonic Analysis Symposium 2010, August 5-6, 2010 University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon.

A Session on "Harmonic Analysis and Operator Spaces" (co-organized with Y. Choi), 2012 Canadian Mathematical Society Summer Meeting, June 2-4, 2012, University of Regina, Regina.
