Overview

I am a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Florida State University working under Dr. Reznikov. Our current research focuses on the equilibria and asymptotics of the energy functional using a gaussian interaction kernel. My research interests include functional analysis, operator theory, and harmonic analysis.


Research

  • Asymptotics for the Gaussian Kernel over self-similar fractal sets
  • Equilibrium measures and asymptotics for the Gaussian Kernel for subsets of R^d with full measure
  • Second-order Term for the Riesz-s energy aymptotics over the interval
  • Equilibrium measures for the hyperbolic Riesz-s energy
