My primary research interests are algebraic combinatorics, particularly connections with representation theory, and mathematics education.

I am currently a associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Connecticut in Storrs (a very safe place to live), where I arrived in Fall 2005. I also direct the Quantitative Learning Center (Q-center). Here is a list of UConn acronmyms that I've needed to learn since I arrived. How many can you name?

Before coming to UConn, I served time at the following academic institutions:

2002--2005 as a tenured associate professor at California State University Hayward, which changed its name to "Cal State East Bay" in January 2005:
1997--2002 as an assistant professor at California State University Hayward
1995--97 as a research associate at the University of Wisconsin:
1993--95 as a visiting assistant professor at Reed College;
1991--93 as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tokyo;
1985--91 earning my Ph.D. at MIT . in algebraic combinatorics under Richard Stanley;
1981--85 as an undergraduate at Swarthmore College , where I essentially double-majored in math and ancient Greek;
1977--81 at Kenwood Academy, a public high school on the South side of Chicago;
1975--77 at Bret Harte School (Chicago); and
1966--75 at Ancona Montessori School (Chicago) Click here for an Ancona picture. Can you pick me out?

Of course, my life has always been measured in academic years.

Along the way I taught in a number of summer programs. Including
