Specialization: Complex Analysis

Research Interests: Geometric Function Theory (Univalent functions, Harmonic mappings, Hyperbolic-type metrics, Special functions)

We work on problems in the theory of univalent functions, special functions, quasiconformal mappings, and hyperbolic-type geometries. In particular, we aim

  • to extend the theory of hyperbolic-type geometries associated with quasiconformal mappings and domains having geometric characterizations;
  • to analyse geometrical and topological aspects of hyperbolic-type metric balls;
  • to investigate properties of conformal mappings associated with metrics bilipschitz equivalent to the hyperbolic metric;
  • to find necessary and sufficient conditions for certain analytic functions in terms of coefficient estimates, pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian derivatives;
  • to obtain certain necessary and sufficient conditions for harmonic univalent mappings using shear construction;
  • to study analytic and geometric properties of partial sums, arc length, area, and radius problems for univalent functions;
  • to know spectral, boundedness, and compactness of complex integral operators;
  • to visualize mapping properties of (basic) hypergeometric functions and other related special functions using techniques from geometric function theory.
