Students may log into Blackboard for information related
to their courses, including office hours.
Here is a list of courses I have taught at Central Michigan.
Mathematics
My research interests are in Complex Analysis, more particularly in Several Complex Variables, which is
basically the study of holomorphic functions (and other analytic objects) defined on complex manifolds of higher dimensions.
This area of mathematics is closely related to differential and algebraic geometry on one hand and PDE (boundary value problems) on the other.
An elementary introduction, giving the flavor of the area may be found in this
popular article.

by the publishers of the magazine where it appeared.)
Distributional Boundary Values: Some New Perspectives (Joint with Rasul Shafikov) Contemporary Mathematics. (Proceedings of the Conference on Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables, Doha, Qatar, January
2015)
Proper holomorphic self-maps of symmetric powers of balls (Joint with Master's student Christopher Grow; Grow received the best thesis award from CMU for his work and is currently pursuing a Ph D at Michigan State University) Archiv der Mathematik
Fourier Representations in Bergman Spaces, Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications. .
(Joint with former Master's student Pranav Upadrashta based on his thesis. Currently, Pranav is pursuing a Ph D at SUNY Stony Brook.)
Master's student Pradeep Bihani wrote a thesis on String Kernel Based Text Source Classification, a foray into machine learning. The highlight of the project was the use of
support vector machines to distinguish the tweets of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Currently, Pradeep is employed by Intuit, Inc. , the makers of TurboTax and QuickBooks.
Master's student Chase Bender wrote a thesis on the polarization identity of linear algebra. This paper is based on his thesis. He is now a graduate student at Notre Dame.
