reetings! I am a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. |
Here is my Princeton website.
During the academic year 2014--2015 I am a Visiting Professor and Research Scholar in the Princeton University Mathematics Department.
I am a member of the Discrete Mathematics group in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky.
I have just been awarded a new five year Simons Foundation Collaboration grant effective July 2016.
I have been awarded a five year Simons Foundation Collaboration grant beginning July 2011.
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 and discrete geometry.
