Research Interest

My research area is Algebra, specifically, the study of linear algebras. A linear algebra is a set of objects with addition and multiplication. Integer, real and complex numbers are classical examples of algebras. Another important examples are matrices, functions, and operators. Linear algebras play important role in geometry, topology, number theory, differential equations as well as in physics, genetics, economics.
