Synopsis

I graduated from UNC in May, 2006 and have accepted a postdoctoral fellowship at the Santa Fe Institute , where I will be continuing my research for the next couple years.  Please visit my webpage there for updates intead of this site. Thanks for your interest!

My research interests are in ergodic theory and dynamical systems, and in particular, symbolic dynamics and cellular automata. Under the direction of Jane Hawkins, I completed a Master's Project which investigated a particular classification of one dimensional cellular automata, and I developed a topological classification of cellular automata in higher dimensions for my Ph.D. thesis. I am not currently teaching, though I have left old course pages active through the link above for anyone interested in perusing portions of my teaching portfolio.

I was a recipient of the National Physical Science Consortium Fellowship and as a part of this program have spent two summers interning with my sponsoring employer in Maryland. I worked in a research group focused on a model of a phased array antenna, and subsequently worked with in-building RF propagation and monitoring.
