Teaching
No teaching duties this quarter.
Research
My primary research interest is in probability, in particular those problems at the interface of probability, combinatorics, and algorithms. Other topics which are of interest to me include empirical processes, information theory, and computational statistics.

Word Squares:
Enumerations of square arrays of letters which form valid English words
from left to right
and top to bottom.
Java Quine: A self-reproducing Java program.
KL-Minimax: Numerical estimates of the least favorable priors (w.r.t. Kullback-Liebler loss) and minimax risks (i.e. channel capacities) for the binomial distribution with n=1,..,24.
Our Little Angels, etc.: You can find some pictures and movies of our little ones here.

Lattice Flow: Visualization and basic statistics of maximal flows on an oriented square lattice with edges assigned i.i.d. Bernoulli capacities.
CFTP Demo: A simple demo of the "coupling from the past" algorithm using the 2-dimensional Ising model.
Reversi: Plays a pretty decent game of
Reversi, but still has a very long way to go to challenge the top
programs out there.
Roshambo: My first attempt at rock-paper-scissors.
Puzzle: A tribute to some of the great mathematicians of old in the form of the once ubiquitous and forever timeless 15-puzzle.
