About Me

I am a professor in mathematics at Simon Fraser University where I lead a small group in applied analytic combinatorics. My main research interests lie in analytic and enumerative combinatorics. I strive to find algorithmic, and systematic solutions to problems that arise in combinatorics. I am interested in the development of methods to compute the asymptotics of coefficients of combinatorial generating functions. I am interested in combinatorial approaches to differential equations. I am also interested in the role of art and design in mathematical communication.
