Research interests My research interests are centered
around the approximation theory, computational harmonic analysis, numerical
analysis and discrete mathematics. Topics that I am working on
include
Interlacing Polynomials
The interlacing polynomial method has been successfully used to solve the Kadison-Singer problem. On one hand, we further develop the interlacing polynomial method itself. On the other hand, we use this method to investigate multiple problems in data science, such as subset selection problems. Selected

Box splines and algebra
Box splines are powerful tools in the field of multivariate approximation theory and are closely connected with both combinatorics and algebra. They play a pivotal role in the study of various mathematical concepts, such as the number of integer solutions of linear Diophantine equations, the total count of integer points in polytopes, and the volume of polytopes. Furthermore, box splines are also intimately linked with the concept of zonotopal spaces. Selected

2013. Compressed
sensing and related problems
It is possible to reconstruct a sparse signal accurately using only a limited number of measurement samples. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to construct an encoding matrix and a decoding algorithm with great care. Random matrices are often used in compressed sensing to construct the encoding matrix. However, I am particularly interested in the construction of deterministic encoding matrices. Additionally, I find the conjectures related to random matrices to be especially intriguing. Selected

theory and quantization
Frames are increasingly gaining popularity in applied mathematics, particularly in areas such as image processing and information theory. As for myself, I am particularly interested in B-spline wavelet frames and the construction of maximally equiangular frames. Moreover, I am studying how frames can be applied to quantization; a highly relevant area of research. Selected

Phase retrieval
Reconstructing signals through phaseless observations is a significant area of research. On one hand, I apply algebraic geometry methods to investigate its mathematical foundations, especially concerning the minimum number of observations required. On the other hand, I am also keen on developing algorithms for phase recovery, and have already devised multiple solving techniques. Selected
