Who am I?

I am a sixth year graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University under the supervision of Nick Trefethen. I expect to finish my thesis, titled "Non-normal dynamics and applications in hydrodynamic stability" by the summer of 1996. I would like to continue my research so I am seeking a research position. Here is a detailed outline (postscript - 4 pages) of my thesis.

My curriculum vitae (postscript - 2 pages).

Interests and Activities

My interests and background are an unusual blend of scientific computing, dynamical systems, and fluid mechanics. Here is a research proposal (postscript - 5 pages) for some work I would like to do in the next couple of years.
