General

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 emphasis on analyzing dynamical systems and developing algorithms to better understand physiological processes, with ongoing projects in cardiac modeling, immune system signalling, and embryo development. 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.

Here are some of my papers. Click the image below for a video overview of some of my research.

Other

I play the violin in the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra, practice aikido in Lafayette and at Purdue 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.
