Summer Undergraduate Research Experience  >  Research Mentors

Mathematical questions motivated by mysteries in biology interest me most. Other interests include singularity theory, the geometry of curves and surfaces (and manifolds), and computer vision.

He earned his B.A. in mathematics at Saint Olaf College, ventured to North Carolina to get his Ph.D. in mathematics, and headed back north to find real winters. He loves the outdoors (esp. paddling and hiking), music, food, and his Macintosh computers. When he has spare time, he likes to read fiction or essays. He has been at Truman for seven years, teaching mathematics and mentoring mathematics and computer science students in research. He is currently interested in applying his knowledge of the mathematical sciences to answer questions that are important to biologists.
