Research

My research in pure math has been primarily in several complex variables and dynamical systems. Lately I've been working in mathematical biology with an empahsis on applying dynamical systems ideas to the study of cardiac electrophysiology and to physiology more generally. I'm particularly interested in questions of how changes in local properties (at the ion channel or cellular level) can influence global function and am interested in both theoretical and computational approaches to these questions.

Other

I play the violin in the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra, practice aikido and like to swing dance (although chasing two small kids keeps me on my toes enough that I don't do these activities as much as I once did). I have an Erdos number of 3 and a Bacon number of 3.
