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.Affiliations
