Research
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.
