My area of specialisation is broadly Harmonic Analysis. I am more interested in the applications of Harmonic Analysis methods in PDE, hence my work is mostly in Euclidean Harmonic analysis. I also have some work on the Heisenberg group, which is in the non commutative set up, which actually inspired my works related to the Twisted Laplacian on C^n.
- Dr. Vijay Kumar Sohani finished his Ph. D. under my supervision in 2014. Thesis title: Non-Linear Schr ̈odinger Equation and the Twisted Laplacian. Dr. Sohani received the best thesis award of HBNI, and currently employed as an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Mathematics at IIT Indore.
