Research Description

I am an analyst specializing in functional analysis and operator theory.  My main area of interest focuses on noncommutative geometry.   The problems I currently study revolve around identifying abstract C*-algebras with concrete representations usually identifying them first with a crossed product.  In addition to that, I am interested in studying smooth subalgebras of such objects, classifying derivations on those subalgebras and see if they can be lifted to an operator to form a spectral triple.  I am also interested the K-theory and K-homology of these objects, with the ultimate goal of constructing noncommutative manifolds.
