Research
:

I do research in algebraic combinatorics.  Generally I am interested in using techniques from group representation theory to compute numerical invariants of interesting and beautiful combinatorial structures.  For more information, see my CV or papers.

Here you can read about the REU project that I supervised in the summer of 2012.

Personal:

Before I gave my life to mathematics, I had a short stint as a dock builder.
