He proved that the Carathéodory and Kobayashi distances agree on convex domains. He further proved that a compact, strictly pseudoconvex real analytic hypersurface can be embedded into the unit sphere of a Hilbert space. He was at the Analysis Department of the same university (1977–1988) and is a professor of Purdue University since 1988.
He was a visiting research fellow at the Université de Paris VII (1979–1980), visiting lecturer at the Princeton University (1984–1985), and visiting professor at the Eötvös Loránd University (1994–1995).
