The field of operator theory originated with physicists in the early part of the 20th century as a mathematical framework for modeling phenomenon in quantum mechanics, and it has since become a fundamental component of modern theoretical physics. Operator theory has also become an indispensable part of the mathematical landscape, with important connections to other areas in mathematics. It is these connections that have increasingly become the focus of modern operator theory. My research concerns multivariable operator theory, which is the study of more than one operator at a time. To date, most of the research in multivariable operator theory has focused on the theory of families of commuting operators, where there are deep connections to classical areas of mathematics like function theory, commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. However, in recent years, there has been a great deal of interest in developing noncommutative analogues of these classical areas. It is natural to expect that there should be similarly deep connections between these new developments and the theory of noncommuting families of operators. Classical commutative mathematics guides our intuition and motivates our development of noncommutative mathematics. However, the perspective we gain from working in the noncommutative setting also gives us a better understanding of the commutative setting. My proposal concerns this interplay between the commutative and the noncommutative in the area of multivariable operator theory.

算子理论领域起源于20世纪早期的物理学家，作为模拟量子力学现象的数学框架，它已经成为现代理论物理学的一个基本组成部分。算符理论也已成为数学景观中不可或缺的一部分，与数学的其他领域有着重要的联系。正是这些联系日益成为现代算子理论的焦点。
