Research Interests: My research interests are in computational, discrete, and algebraic geometry, optimization, polyhedra and matroids. More specifically I am very interested in matroid polytopes and their Ehrhart polynomials, h^*-vectors, h-vectors, volumes, triangulations, coverings and properties of their 1-skeleton.

Recently I spoke at CombinaTexas2008 on Ehrhart Polynomials of Matroid Polytopes. This 20 minute talk contains two of our conjectures on the Ehrhart polynomial and h^*-vector of matroid polytopes, on our computational result and on new directions. Here is a copy of my presentation.

Matroids: At this webpage you can see all the data I and others have compiled on matroids and matroid polytopes, such as their h^*-vectors, Ehrhart polynomials, basis descriptions etc.

CV: A copy of my CV can be downloaded here.

Publications:

I have a few publications which can be found here. This includes my most recent publication "Ehrhart Polynomials of Matroid Polytopes and Polymatroids" to appear in the journal of Discrete and Computational Geometry.
