I am an assistant professor in the Mathematics Department at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. My research interests are in combinatorics, graph theory and discrete probability. I'm currently being supported by a grant from the National Securitry Agency's Mathematical Sciences Program. I belong to the applicable mathematics group. Please go here to see my CV, and here to track my mathematical tour of the US. I've recently start a mathematical blog, called mathgems.
