I'm currently an AARMS postdoc at Dalhousie University working on, for lack of a better term, "discrete science".

During my PhD candidature, I studied the number of Latin squares/rectangles, and symmetries of Latin squares. Recently I have been expanding my interests into computer science and computational biology. One recent focal point is network motifs.

I am particularly fond of computational discrete mathematics. I often use:

  • GAP (computer algebra system),
  • R (for statistical computing),
  • Prover9 (automated theorem prover),
  • C or C++ (if speed is required).

Please visit my website for more info (e.g. a list of publications).

comment Can cirrhosis be caused by physical compression of the body?
Thanks for that. I think you're right... my suspicion is it's likely that any link with cirrhosis would have been discovered along with "corset liver" etc., and would be reasonably easy to find in the literature.
