Dr. Miña-Díaz's research lies at the intersection of complex analysis and approximation theory, with a strong emphasis on orthogonal polynomials in the complex plane. His work explores the asymptotic behavior, zero distribution, and spectral properties of such polynomials, particularly in relation to analytic curves and multiply connected domains. He also investigates Faber polynomials, quadrature rules, and reproducing kernels in Bergman spaces, contributing to both theoretical foundations and potential applications in mathematical physics.

The recent publications reflect a consistent focus on the asymptotics and structural properties of orthogonal polynomials, often tied to conformal mappings and potential theory. His work bridges pure mathematics with deep analytical techniques, primarily published in top-tier journals such as the Journal of Approximation Theory and Communications in Mathematical Physics.
