Some Current and Recent Responsibilities

• (Former) lead organizer for the UC Davis Math Dept Qualifying (a.k.a. Oral) Exam Workshop.
  
  
• (Former) Webmaster for FPSAC'06
  
  
• (Former) Webmaster for the UC Davis Math Dept Galois Group.
  
  The Galois Group website is implemented as a Wiki using a Zope-based system called Zwiki. As such, all UCD Math Grad Students are encouraged to contact the current Galois Group Webmaster for an account so that they can contribute to the site.
  
  
• (Former) Galois Group Representative to the Computing Resources Committee.
  
  
• (Former) Galois Group Representative to the Graduate Program Committee.
  
  
• (Former) Main Organizer for the UC Davis Math Dept's "Graduate Student-Run Seminar".
  
  If you're interested in giving a talk for the Seminar, then please contact a current Seminar Organizer.

• Being christened Saunders Mac Lane's Categories for the Working Mathematician...

  If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Saunders Mac Lane's Categories for the Working Mathematician.

  I would provide an array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from foundations, I would illuminate the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. I would then turn to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representation of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits.
