Voiculescu will to continue his work in three different aspects of operator algebra theory: (i) normed-ideal perturbations of Hilbert space operators and entropic invariants of dynamical systems, (ii) II_1 factors of free groups and the noncommutative probability approach to free products, (iii)quasidiagonal C*-algebras and approximation of algebras. The general area of mathematics of this project has its basis in the theory of algebras of Hilbert space operators. Operators can be thought of as finite or infinite matrices of complex numbers. Special types of operators are often put together in an algebra, naturally called an operator algebra. These seemingly abstract objects have a surprising variety of applications. For example, they play a key role in knot theory, which in turn is currently being used to study the structure of DNA.

Voiculescu将继续他在算子代数理论的三个不同方面的工作：(i) Hilbert空间算子的范数-理想摄动和动力系统的熵不变量，（ii）自由群的II_1因子和自由积的非交换概率方法，（iii）准对角C*-代数和代数的逼近。这个项目的一般数学领域在希尔伯特空间算子的代数理论中有其基础。运算符可以被认为是有限或无限的复数矩阵。特殊类型的运算符通常放在一个代数中，自然地称为运算符代数。这些看似抽象的对象有着各种各样的应用。例如，它们在结理论中起着关键作用，而结理论目前正被用于研究DNA的结构。
