Ph.D. (Indiana University Bloomington)

Research Profile:

My main results are in free probability. I have worked on the applications of complex analysis tools to the study of free random variables. Motivated by questions in random matrix theory and noncommutative (especially free) probability, my most recent research interests are in questions of free analysis, particularly the applications of J.L. Taylor's free noncommutative functions and free calculus to the study of problems in free probability and analysis.
