Broadly speaking, I am interested in asymptotic analysis, approximation theory, special function theory, and their application to problems in mathematical physics and random matrix theory. One of the main tools I use is the Riemann-Hilbert problem; for a nice introduction to the method as it applies to integrable systems, see Alexander Its' Notices article.
