Research Interests
As a student of Nick Varopoulos in the late sixties, my first research interests were in the area of Abstract Harmonic Analysis. In the late seventies and eighties, I worked mainly on problems in Euclidean Harmonic Analysis, spending most of my time on Radon Transforms and on Estimates for the Restrictions of Fourier Transforms to curves and surfaces. In the late eighties and nineties I have started to work on Matrix Theory. I am particularly interested in the application of Harmonic Analysis to Matrix Theory, both through the central role played by the permutation group and through the use of abelian groups in new scaling schemes. Other interests include Graph Theory and Combinatorics especially in connection with matrices.
