"Certainty is the hallmark of ignorance. The hallmark of genius is clarity."
Welcome to my home page here at Michigan. My research interests lie in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics. Specific topics include: generalizations of Eulerian polynomials, f- and h- vectors of cell complexes, Coxeter groups, combinatorial Hopf algebras (e.g., quasisymmetric functions), and related posets. Some of my other interests are recurrences, tiling problems, and combinatorial objects that display nice asymptotic behavior.
