Research Overview
research interests and other endeavours
Below are the links to what I do for research.
Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on who you ask), I do not have my own funding, lab, or grad students. That's partly because I used to be an Instructor (and therefore needed the support of my department to get any of those things), partly because I've been a student myself, and, well, the other part is something I've been told I'm not supposed to talk about.
What that means for a researcher, is that I have no students to write papers for me, and no money to hire people to do research for me. So, my work is largely done by myself and through my own funding. There are, of course, some very fine people with whom I get to collaborate. I will make every effort to credit those who help along the way.
