Stephen Drury (mathematician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephen William Drury is a British-Canadian mathematician and professor of mathematics at McGill University.[1] He specializes in mathematical analysis, harmonic analysis and linear algebra.[2] He received the doctorate from the University of Cambridge in 1970 under the supervision of Nicholas Varopoulos[3] and completed a postdoctoral training at Faculté des sciences d'Orsay, France. He was recruited at McGill by Professor Carl Herz in 1972.

Among other contributions, he solved the Sidon set union problem,[4][5] worked on restrictions of Fourier and Radon transforms to curves[6] and generalized the von Neumann's inequality.[7] In operator theory, the Drury–Arveson space is named after William Arveson and him.[8]

His research now pertains to the interplay between matrix theory and harmonic analysis and their applications to graph theory.
