Professor Kashin is a mathematician whose work sits at the intersection of functional analysis, approximation theory, and the geometry of Banach spaces. He is particularly known for foundational results on widths/diameters of finite-dimensional sets and function classes, and for advances connecting geometric methods (convex bodies) with approximation characteristics and complexity measures (e.g., entropy) in spaces such as .
