Graduate Research 2008-present
Beginning in the summer of 2008, I have been working with Prof. Peter Abramenko, learning the fundamentals
of building theory and researching transitivity properties of group actions on buildings. Recently we exhibited
the first known examples of groups acting Weyl transitively but not strongly transitively on buildings of
arbitrary affine type.
In my senior year at Kenyon, I worked with Prof. Judy Holdener and Lee Kennard '07 on a problem involving
finding visualizations of turtle sequences converging to the Koch snowflake. We authored a paper, which appeared
in Volume 47, No. 3 (2008) of the International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics.
In the summer of 2006, I worked with Prof. Mark Pearson and Andrea Heald (Harvey Mudd '07) at Hope College in
an NSF-sponsored REU. We developed a method of calculating every irreducible representation of any metacyclic
group by means of a diagram dubbed a "waffle." We authored two papers, pending publication, and presented our
findings at a conference at Central Michigan University and a poster session at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in
New Orleans in 2007.
In my junior year at Kenyon, I worked with Prof. John Idoine and Dave Slochower '07 refining methods in
nuclear medical imaging.
In the summer of 2004, I participated in an REU-type program at the Air Force Institute of Technology at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. I researched atmospheric effects on the aberration of light from the star Vega,
and presented my findings at a poster session.
