Past Research

Mathematics has been my research area since I realized that you could do research in mathematics. I am considered to be a pure mathematician (which means I study math for the math alone), but that term has started to fall out of use. Regardless of my day job, I will always have room for some mathematical research. You can find more information on my past projects below.
