Teaching
I am teaching M408K-CNS (Differential Calculus for Scientists) this semester.
I taught M365C (Real Analysis I) in Spring 2009, M408M (Multivariable Calculus) in Fall 2008, M328K (Introduction to Number Theory) in Spring 2008 and M325K (Discrete Mathematics) in Fall 2007.
Papers
A generalisation of the deformation variety, 43 pages, 25 figures, 2009, arXiv:0904.1893.
On spun-normal and twisted squares surfaces, 15 pages, 13 figures, in Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 137 (2009), 4259-4273. arXiv:math/0810.1256.
Detection of incompressible surfaces in hyperbolic punctured torus bundles, 68 pages, 25 figures, 2006, arXiv:math/0610302. My Ph.D. thesis is available here (submitted May 2007). It bears a striking resemblance to this paper.
Autologlyphs, with P.-O. Dehaye, 2004, in Math. Intell. 26 (2004), no. 2, cover art and pp. 37-39.
100 prisoners and a lightbulb, with P.-O. Dehaye and D. Ford, in Math. Intell. 25 (2003), no. 4, pp. 53-61.
Talks
Slides from some of my talks:
- A generalisation of the deformation variety, Oct 2009
- The Mathfest 2009 Poster Image, Mathematical Art, Design and Education in Second Life, Aug 2009
I also showed a video at the start of the talk and another at the end. - Drawing knots using computers, Jul 2009
- Extending the deformation variety, Nov 2008
- Ideal triangulations and components of the Character variety, Nov 2007
On 2/23/08 I gave a talk to the UT Mathematics Department's Saturday Morning Math Group (for an audience of around 200 high school students from nearby schools in the area), you can see a video of it here (scroll down to my talk). A few days earlier, I was interviewed on She Blinded Me With Science!, a show on the student radio station KVRX, talking about topology and juggling. You can listen to the interview here.
