Research Interests

My research interests are focused on operator algebras with an emphasis on the non-selfadjoint aspects of the theory. I am currently interested in various topics of investigation including: C*-envelope, non-selfadjoint crossed products, the classification problem for operator algebras and its relation with representation theory. Over the years, I have worked on various non-selfadjoint algebras such as tensor algebras, nest algebras, CSL algebras and triangular AF algebras, free semigroup algebras, graph algebras and semicrossed products. I am also interested in Banach spaces and their isometric theory (extreme points, M-ideals, etc.)

See here a photo of several non-selfadjoint operator algebraists, including myself at the bottom-right. Here is another more dynamical photo. In 2010 I took this multivariate photo.
