Research Interests

These are, broadly speaking, operator theory, operator algebras, complex function theory, and the interplay between these areas. My most recent work is a Fejer-Riesz type factorization theorem for non-negative operator valued trigonometric polynomials in two variables.  I've also co-authored a paper with my student Batzorig Undrakh on the rational dilation problem for spectral sets contained in a broad class of distinguished varieties, vastly extending work done both with another former student, James Pickering, and with Scott McCullough and Michael Jury.
