Wilfredo is a ranking authority in Gaussian harmonic analysis, published the first book in the area in 2019
that embodies a state-of-the-art entrée at the intersection of two important fields of research: harmonic
analysis and probability. Besides his interest in harmonic analysis in general (multipliers, singular
integrals (Calderónn-Zygmund operators) maximal functions, Littlewood-Paley theory, and function
spaces arising in harmonic analysis, and in particular harmonic analysis of orthogonal polynomial
expansions. He is also interested in wavelets analysis as well as in probability theory, especially in
martingale theory and its connection to analysis and stochastic integration. He has over 50 peer-reviewed
articles in international mathematical journals , editor of several proceedings and journals and also
reviewer for the MathSciNet and ZbMath the two most important searchable online bibliographic
databases.

“I think that Hispanic Heritage Month is quite important to promote not only the Hispanic heritage but also
the current contributions of the Hispanic community in science, arts, and, in general, the overall
contributions to the culture of the USA as well as their economic contributions.”
