About Me: My primary research interests lie in matrix analysis and continuous-variable quantum information—the mathematical framework to understand and characterize quantum states of light—with a special focus on quantum systems with bosonic particles exhibiting Gaussian characteristics in their quantum states. Other areas of my active research involve classical and quantum hypothesis testing, quantum entanglement, and quantum entropy.

Research Interest: Matrix Analysis, Quantum Information Theory, Operator Theory, Functional Analysis
