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.
