Curriculum Vitae

Current Interests:

I am now a Computational Mathematics Scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA. I am in the Computational Mathematics group within the Computational Sciences and Mathematics Division. I am involved in projects studying:

I am interested in rational difference equations, integer sequences, combinatorics, graph theory, order theory, and experimental math.
I was a DHS Graduate Fellow Spring 2008 - Fall 2010. For more info about DyDAn, the Graduate Fellowship, or DIMACS see their websites. In connection with this I am interested in view discovery in large databases, sensor location problems, and ontology alignment.
I attended the weekly Experimental Math seminar organized by my adviser Professor Doron Zeilberger. I also attended the weekly Graduate Combinatorics Seminar organized by Kellen Myers.

I was on the student organizing committee for the DIMACS/CCICADA Student Workshop on Where the Mathematical and Computational Sciences Meet Society, a workshop aimed at helping undergraduates understand how research in the sciences can be applied to problems in society.
I have helped to organize the DIMACS/CCICADA Student Run Seminar. It is currently being organized by Brian Thompson (Rutgers CS), Scott Kulp (Rutgers CS), and Bobby Demarco (Rutgers Math).
I was on the logistics organizing committee for a conference in honor of Doron Zeilberger's 60th birthday. The conference is called "From A=B to Z=60" and information can be found at the conference website. The dates were May 27-28, 2010.
