Overview

Area of Study / Keywords

Applied Mathematics Computational Mathematics Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis Scientific Computing Approximation Theory Image/Data Science


About

My research area is in analysis and applied mathematics including computational mathematics, applied harmonic analysis, approximation theory and their applications. Using finite difference and wavelet/Fourier methods, I develop and analyze efficient numerical algorithms and methods to solve various ordinary and partial differential equations as well as their applications to industry and engineering. Using splines and wavelets, I apply techniques in harmonic analysis and approximation theory to applied mathematics and data science such as image processing, compressive sensing, manifold/functional data processing, subdivision schemes and CAGD in computer graphics. I published a book: Framelets and Wavelets: Algorithms, Analysis and Applications, (2017). I am an editor of Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis and Journal of Approximation Theory. According to Research.com, I am ranked 65 in Canada and 1713 worldwide among all mathematicians.
