About me

Research interests

  1. Integral equations and functional differential equations
  2. Operator semigroups, duality, and perturbation theory
  3. Time delay effects in systems and control
  4. Stability and bifurcation of equilibria and periodic orbits

For my work on the above I am kindly hosted by Utrecht University, The Netherlands.
My PhD advisers are O. Diekmann and S.M. Verduyn Lunel.
