RESEARCH INTERESTS AND CURRENT RESEARCH WORKS
Self-similar tilings, substitution dynamical systems and fractal geometry.
I study the substitution dynamical systems, including geometrical representation and spectral theory. I am especially interested in the Pisot spectral conjecture, which asserts that a unimodular Pisot substitution dynamical system has purely discrete spectrum.
I also study the Lipschitz equivalence between fractal sets, especially the self-similar sets.
