Overview
I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics, Ryerson University, working with Peter Danziger. My position is supported by an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship.
I was previously a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Memorial University of Newfoundland, working with David Pike.
I completed my Ph.D. in December 2009 at the University of Ottawa, under the supervision of Mateja Šajna.
Curriculum Vitae
Research
My research interests lie primarily in the fields of combinatorial design theory and graph theory, and often in the border region between the two. Specific research topics include:
- Cycle and closed trail decompositions of graphs
- Colourings of decompositions and designs
- Colourings of graphs (particularly those associated with designs)
- Packing and covering designs
A list of my publications can be found here.
Teaching
At Memorial University of Newfoundland:
At the University of Ottawa:
- MAT 1308, Introduction to Calculus, Summer 2008.
- MAT 1340, Introductory Vector Algebra and Discrete Mathematics, Fall 2007.
Conferences Organized
In 2008 and 2009, I was a member of the organizing committee of the first and second annual Ottawa Mathematics Conference, a conference organized by graduate students at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Ottawa, and conceived primarily as a venue for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the local area (southern and eastern Ontario and southern Quebec) to interact and showcase their research in mathematics and statistics. The conference features invited speakers from the faculties of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of Ottawa and the School of Mathematics and Statistics of Carleton University, and contributed talks from graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
