Current math
Phylogenetics
I am currently working on code for representing and manipulating ensembles of phylogenetic trees suited to pandemic-scale data.
Finite element exterior calculus (FEEC)
My main mathematical interest at WashU was in FEEC, with an emphasis on nonconforming hybridizable methods. One of the best things about this area of math is that it is amenable to interesting analysis as well as practical applications.
Gerrymandering
Begun while I was at Tarleton State University in Texas, the work on gerrymandering is a constant of my mathematical career!
Quivers
Recently built the ThinSincereQuivers library in Macaulay2 language, in order to facilitate current work on the cone system and combinatorial structures associated to a toric quiver.
