Scientific activity

Success consists of going from failure to failure without
loss of enthusiasm.
(Winston Churchill)

The area of the scientific interest

  • Operator Theory (positive operators, semigroups of operators);
  • Approximation Theory (Korovkin-type approximation theory, positive approximation processes).
