In addition to over 90 research papers on mathematics, he has written a research monograph "Potential Theory in the Complex Plane" in 1995.

He has proved results on potential theory, functional analysis, the theory of capacity, and probability. For example, with Javad Mashreghi he proved the Mashreghi–Ransford inequality. He also derived a short elementary proof of Stone–Weierstrass theorem .
