Welcome

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I am an associate professor of mathematics at Colorado State University (CSU).


I received my Ph.D. from Bayreuth University in Bayreuth, Germany, under the supervision of Prof A. Kerber and Prof. R. Laue. In 2001/2002, I spent one year at the University of Western Australia to work with Cheryl Praeger on a class of designs. I joined CSU in 2002. At CSU, I teach graduate and undergraduate classes like Combinatorics, Cryptography, Information and Coding Theory, Linear Algebra, Calculus, etc.


I am a fellow of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications.

Teaching

MATH161 Calculus II


Research

My research areas by AMS Math subject classification are I like to classify discrete objects, often with the help of computers. Please see my research page for more details (below).


For more on some of my research topics, follow the link below.

As of 5/8/2013, I am offering a program called orbiter to the public. Orbiter is devoted to the classification of discrete structures. Please see the following page:
