In the course of his mathematical career, he has dealt, among other things, with various aspects of functional analysis, single and multivariable operator theory, the theory of moments, the theory of orthogonal polynomials, the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, and mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics.
