I like to use matrix to study mathematical problems. With this tool, I have studied problems on numerical linear algebra, numerical methods on differential equations, tensor analysis and complementarity problems. Recently, from this viewpoint, I also study stability related problems on systems with delays.
These results get enough attention so that I am in the list of World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University for several years.
