Introduction

I'm a doctoral student in mathematics at The University of Colorado working under Keith A. Kearnes and Alexander Hulpke. My research is in permutation group algorithms. More generally, my interests are in computational group theory, representation theory, algorithms and logic.

I have a B.S. in mathematics with a minor in physics from The University of Michigan - Flint. I worked under David S. Dummit at The University of Vermont and completed my M.S. by solving a problem related to Stark's Conjectures in the area of computational algebraic number theory. I completed my M.A. with concentrations in group theory, computational group theory and representation theory at The University of Colorado in 2010.


 

Some Things Fun

The photo below was created as follows. At the summit of Mt. Evans (14264ft/4348m) in Colorado's Front Range, I took 72 photographs in a specific sequence. Once home, I used these photos to generate two series of High Dynamic Range images using algorithms developed by Rafał Mantiuk and Raanan Fattal and implemented in the software package Qtpfsgui. Then, I used lens correction transformations and perspective transformations from the package Panotools. Finally, I stitched these transformed images together in the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) and then applied a polar-coordinates transformation to the result in the same program. All of the software used is open-source.
