My research focuses on developing novel methodologies and advancing the frontiers of discrete geometry, extremal combinatorics, combinatorial design theory, and coding theory. More recently, I have become particularly interested in finite analogs—over finite fields and finite abelian groups—of classical problems in harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, and combinatorics.
