| | RESEARCH INTERESTS | | | I am interested in most areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. My research has been in graph theory, matroid theory, coding theory, combinatorial polynomials, partially ordered sets, matching theory, flow theory, and enumerative combinatorics.
I also enjoy applying combinatorial methods and results to other areas; these have included linear algebra, bioinformatics, electrochemistry, and industrial/commercial problems. | | | | ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES | | | - Academic Advisor
