Research:

My research is in the field of Algebraic Combinatorics. In particular, I have spent a lot of time trying to understand the combinatorics of Macdonald polynomials. I recently completed a post-doc working with Anne Schilling on a focused research group studying affine Schubert calculus. In the fall of 2008 I begin a post-doc position at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Some Papers/Preprints:

1. On the uniqueness of promotion operators on tensor products of type A crystals (with Anne Schilling and Nicolas Thiéry).

2. A new characterization for the m-quasiinvariants of S_n and explicit basis for two row hook shapes (with Gregg Musiker).

3. An elementary proof of the hook formula.

4. Combinatorics of Macdonald polynomials and extensions (doctoral dissertation under the direction of Adriano Garsia).

5. Quasiinvariants of S_3 (with Gregg Musiker).

6. A Weight Preserving Bijection Between Schroeder Paths and Schroeder Permutations (with Eric Egge and Kendra Killpatrick).

7. An Area-to-Inv Bijection Between Dyck Paths and 312-avoiding Permutations (with Kendra Killpatrick).

I have a few posted here. And here is me in ASCII. (source).
