Research corner

One of the symptoms of approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. If I were a medical man, I should prescribe a holiday to any patient who considered his work important.

Research interests

Since October 2001, I am the PhD student of Dr A.Shadrin, in the Numerical Analysis group of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of the University of Cambridge, UK, where I am a member of Trinity Hall.

My area of interest is Approximation Theory (functional analysis flavoured) in general, and to be more specific:

My doctoral dissertation, entitled "Small-normed projections onto polynomial and spline spaces", is available here.
