Recent Events

New My second son Thomas was born June 23, 2005 weighing 8 pounds 15 ounces and measuring 21 1/4 inches long. Thomas' mathematical connection is that he has the same birthday as Richard Stanley. New

Keynote speaker at the Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference, University of Minnesota. (April 16-17, 2005)

Visited Mittag-Leffler as part of the Spring 2005 program in Algebraic Combinatorics.

My first son Theodore was born May 23, 2001 weighing 8 pounds and measuring 21 inches long. (Both Fibonacci numbers!) Photos


Research

My research interests are in algebraic combinatorics and discrete geometry.

Recent preprints and papers


Seminar

I am the organizer of the Discrete CATS Seminar (where CATS = Combinatorics, Algebra, Topology and Statistics), formerly the University of Kentucky Algebraic Combinatorics Seminar.


PhD Student

My graduate student Patricia Muldoon is interested in topological combinatorics.


Courses

This semester I am teaching Math 213 Calculus III (mirror site ) and Math 714, Recent Trends in Polytopes.


REUs

I have been a Faculty Advisor for two REU's at Cornell, one in 1997 and the other in the summer of 2000. Here you can see an article about the Summer 1997 REU.

Here is a list of my REU students.

My student Michael Levin, a 2001 graduate from Harvard, won Honorable Mention for the 2001 Morgan Prize.
