I am an
Associate Professor of Mathematics
at the
University of Kentucky.

Bio

I am a member of the Discrete Mathematics group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky.

Richard Ehrenborg and I are the founders and organizers of the Math Movie of the Month.

During the academic year 2006-2007, I was on sabbatical leave at MIT.

Curriculum Vitae

Research

My research interests are in algebraic combinatorics and discrete geometry.

Recent preprints and papers

My Father

Arthur F. Readdy, Jr. (March 4, 1928 - March 2, 2008)

Seminars

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

This year I am also organizing the UK WILDCATS Seminar .

Upcoming Events

2010-2011

Invited to attend the five day workshop on Quasisymmetric Functions at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS). Louis Billera, Sara Billey and Richard Stanley are organizing this workshop. (November 14-19, 2010)

Georgia Benkart, Monica Vazirani and Stephanie van Willigenburg are organizing a collaborative research and mentoring workshop for female combinatorialists at BIRS. I have been invited to participate as a senior faculty member. (expected Spring 2011)

2009-2010

Talk in the AMS special session Permutations being organized by Persi Diaconis, Ira Gessel and Richard Stanley. Joint Mathematics Meetings, San Francisco, CA. (January 2010)

Co-organizing the workshop Combinatorics 2010: Advances, Trends and Speculations. (March 26, 2010)

Richard Ehrenborg and I are organizing the special session Advances in Algebraic & Geometric Combinatorics at the AMS Spring Southeastern Sectional Meeting being being held at the University of Kentucky (March 27-28, 2010). Doron Zeilberger will be giving the 2010 Erdõs Memorial Lecture.

2008-2009 and before

PhD Student

My graduate student Patricia Muldoon Brown is interested in topological combinatorics.

Courses

This semester I am teaching Math 213 Calculus III and the topics course Math 714 Combinatorics of Coxeter Groups.

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.
