WELCOME!
I am a numerical algebraic geometer in the math department at CSU. I have various research interests, though my work revolves around the numerical solution of polynomial systems. In particular, much of my work so far is in some way related to the field of numerical algebraic geometry (numerical methods for computing quantities and structures related to polynomial systems). Here is a broader (but not complete) list of some areas that interest me:

Numerical algebraic geometry
Numerical analysis and scientific computing (including parallel computing and software development)
Optimal control
Real enumerative geometry (particularly fewnomial theory)

EXCITING NEWS!

CSU will host AG13, August 1-4, 2013. More details soon....
Steve Ihde has won the poster session at SIAM AG11 (along with Elizabeth Gross) -- congratulations!
The NSF has kindly chosen to support the NAGlab with a new award - DMS-1115668 - for 2011-14.
The NSF has chosen to highlight some of my work with Philipp Rostalski and others on research.gov here and in a newsletter.
