About Me

I am a professor in mathematics at Simon Fraser University. My main research interests lie in analytic and enumerative combinatorics. I strive to find algorithmic, and systematic solutions to problems that arise in combinatorics. One of my main projects is to find ways to characterize and classify combinatorial classes with transcendental generating functions. This has led to a detailed study of coefficient asymptotics and also of lattice paths in a variety of contexts. I am also interested in the role of art and design in mathematical communication.

News

NEW article! Inhomogeneous order 1 iterative functional equations with applications to combinatorics with Lucia Di Vizio and Gwladys Fernandes. We give a simple criterion for a generating function to be differentially transcendental, and apply it to complete trees, walks on self-similar graphs and a series related to the egf of permutations avoiding the consecutive pattern 1423. Check it out! Arxiv link
