Research

While completing my Master’s degree, I researched Grobner Bases, specifically developing algorithms for computing such bases given a set of multivariable polynomials.

 While completing my Phd, my research was focused on discrete difference equations, specifically developing algorithms for determining integrability.

Now, I’m focused on teaching.

Interests

If I’m not focused on teaching, this is where my focus will go:

• Art & Mathematics
• Modular Origami
