My Mathematics Geneology             For my curriculum vitae, click here (Updated: February 2007)

My primary research areas are Ordinary differential equations, dynamical equations on Time-Scales, and difference equations. Some of the problems, I have been working on, include Comparison of Eigenvalue Problems for different types of Boundary Value Problems, Uniqueness implies Existence for Boundary Value Problems, Existence Theorem using different Fixed Point Theorems, Existence of a Solution by Solutions mathcing etc.
