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. Check out the wiki page or the main page.
There will be Tutorials in the Mountains on numerical algebraic geometry and toric geometry in the days leading up to AG13 -- here is the webpage.
The NoCo Math Oval, spearheaded by a small team of local parents, teachers, and CSU faculty members, is now underway! Here is the webpage, including the schedule.
The Bertini Team is now working on a new book, to be published by SIAM in 2013. It will be a gentle introduction to numerical algebraic geometry, paired with examples and a user's manual for Bertini.

Some of my work is supported by the National Science Foundation, particularly via grants DMS-0914674, DMS-1025564, and DMS-1115668 (see note at bottom of page).
Recent support has also come from the Air Force, via grant FA8650-13-1-7317.
