Complex Analysis and CR Geometry
Research Description
My research centers around complex analysis and CR Geometry.
I have worked on finite type conditions for real hypersurfaces, on Hermitian analogues of Hilbert's 17th problem, on proper holomorphic maps between balls in different dimensions, and groups associated with holomorphic mappings.
