About myself
I'm a
lecturer at MSOR, VUW; if you are (still) puzzled by this
abbreviation, have a look at the above links. Before moving to
Wellington in 2009, I spent 2 years in Edmonton as
a postdoc in
Prof. Anthony
To-Ming Lau's group.
I studied for my PhD in Leeds under the
supervision of Prof. H.
Garth Dales. Before that, I did my undergraduate study
in Canberra, my
honours thesis was supervised by Dr. Richard Loy.
My pre-university education took place in Hanoi, mostly. Yes,
it's not all! Lucky me, I've lived in yet another beautiful
city of Budapest, during the innocent years of primary
school.
Research
My research
interest is Banach algebras and abstract harmonic
analysis.
