What's Happening (2006-2007, 2007-2008,...)
I am on the CWRU campus, back from the
Equipe d'Analyse Fonctionnelle
at the
Université Pierre et Marie CURIE in Paris, France.
While there, I was also involved in the
trimester on Phenomena in High Dimensions at
the Institut Henri Poincare.
In August 2006 I took part in the International
Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid, Spain. Here are the slides
from my lecture on Convexity, Complexity, and High Dimensions.
Since June 2007 I am involved in the NSF Focused Research Group project:
Fourier analytic and probabilistic methods in geometric
functional analysis and convexity which - in addition to CWRU -
involves Kent State University, University of California-Davis and University of Missouri.
Courses and Such
Fall 2008
Some other courses I taught at Case in the not-too-distant past
You should direct any questions concerning CWRU Math Competition and
the Putnam Competition
(which were my charges in some of the past years)
to Dr. Contenza
And here are my Fall
2002, Spring
2003 and Spring
2006
graduate courses taught in Paris ...
My Research Interests
My primary field is Functional Analysis, more
specifically Geometry of Banach Spaces, Convexity and, particularly, their
combinatorial and probabilistic aspects.
I am also interested in those aspects of other fields
such as, e.g., Operator Theory, Approximation Theory, Mathematical Physics,
Computer Science or Operation Research that appeal to convexity
and/or exhibit probabilistic or geometric flavor
(including, but not limited to, Random Matrices and Quantum Information Theory).
Have a pet problem that could fit there? Drop me a line at

Here is my CV and
selected
publications with links to preprints.

Other Interests
Other than that, I like travel, sailing
(Navigare Necesse Est,
CNIF),
diving, skiing, tennis, table tennis, bridge ...
And here are my daughters,
Martina
and Natalie
(as seen by an Ukrainian artist in Kraków in 1997)
and
Emily (testing a certain body of water in 2005).
