Research Focus
Harmonic Analysis
The two main themes of my research program are multilinear operators and point configurations. Many concepts in mathematics, from boundary value problems in partial differential equations and mathematical physics to finite point configurations in geometric combinatorics, are fundamentally tied to various operator bounds. A particularly rich source of inspiration for me is a famous question of Erdös where he asked about the least number of distinct distances determined by points in the plane. Instead of distance, which is a simple pattern, I mainly study multipoint configuration versions of this problem, both in the original discrete setting, as well as in a continuous setting where geometric measure theory plays a key role. In this setting, geometric averaging operators, such as averaging a function over a sphere, arise naturally and play a key role in answering the point configuration questions as well as being of independent interest.
