I am a
visiting assistant professor in the
Department of Mathematics
at Haverford College.
My field is algebraic combinatorics, and specific research areas
which interest me include (dual) canonical bases of quantum groups,
total nonnegativity,
Schur nonnegativity,
and Kazhdan-Lusztig theory.
For more information, see my
papers and presentations,
CV,
research plan,
teaching statement,
and
summary of
undergraduate research supervision.

I completed my Ph.D. in May, 2000
under the supervision of
Richard Stanley
in the
MIT
Department of Mathematics.
I then worked as a VIGRE postdoctoral instructor in the
University of Michigan Department of Mathematics and as a John Wesley Young instructor in the
Dartmouth College
Department of Mathematics.
My academic family is listed in the
Rota family tree, and other
mathematicians whose interests are related to combinatorics appear in my
combinatorics photo album.

This spring I am teaching
Math 114-115 (Calculus II).
The webpage for this course is
is located on Swarthmore's
Tri-College Blackboard.
I am also supervising an undergraduate thesis on symmetric function
inequalities and
an undergraduate research
group on monomial immanants.
