Research Interests

Jim's research interests lie in euclidean harmonic analysis; oscillatory integrals, generalised singular and maximal Radon transforms, and stability/ uniformity issues related to these objects. Recently he has also been interested in discrete analogues of these problems in settings where harmonic analysis interacts nicely with number theory.
