Areas of Research

My research area is at the interface of Probability Theory, Functional Analysis and Convex Geometry. Small Deviations of Gaussian Processes, Metric entropy and Intrinsic Volumes of convex bodies are among the things I study. Thanks to the National Science Foundation for the support.

I also do interdisciplinary research on mathematical modeling of diffusion process and spatial heterogeneity in biofilms. I am a faculty member of UI BCB program.

Teaching

I believe that the only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics; and the amount and level of difficulty of the problems one tries determines the effectiveness of his or her practice. Students who take my classes should be prepared to do a lot of challenging problems.
