reetings! I am a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. |
Here is my Princeton website.
I am a member of the Discrete Mathematics group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky.
I am
funded by
the
Simons Foundation
for the grant,
"Investigations in Combinatorial Mathematics".
Besides
collaborator visits
and
PI travel to lead all-female research groups and
all-female workshops,
it has funded
travel for eight graduate students.
Six collaborators and nine graduate students
received funding via
my previous
Simons Foundation
grant, "Flag Enumeration in Algebra and Geometry".
My graduate student
Yue Cai
also received funding for a research visit to Princeton
in Fall 2014.
During the academic year 2014--2015 I was a Visiting Professor
and Research Scholar in the
Princeton University Mathematics
Department.
During the academic year 2010-2011, I was
a Member
in the
School of Mathematics
at the
Institute for Advanced Study
in Princeton.
During the academic year 2006-2007, I was on sabbatical leave at
MIT.
My research interests are in algebraic
combinatorics,
namely
the interaction of combinatorics
with algebra, topology, discrete geometry and number theory.
