Research Interests

I received my Ph.D in Mathematics from Boston University where I worked with Professor Nancy Kopell. Before going to BU I went to the University of Missouri for both my B.A. and M.A.  My research interests are in nonlinear dynamical systems and their applications to mathematical biology.  The picture below shows one of my favorite toys, the Newton-Leipnik attractors.
