To see my recent book: "Computing the continuous Discretely: integer point enumeration in polytopes", with Matthias Beck, a Springer UTM: click here

Some of my research interests include: discrete and computational geometry, modular forms in number theory, combinatorial geometry, Fourier analysis and its connections with discrete geometry, and secure communications and cryptography.

In a joint project with Izabella Laba and Alex Iosevitch, I've founded and am a managing editor of OJAC - the online journal of analytic combinatorics, located at www.ojac.org

    If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.
    -John Von Neumann-

    Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random numbers is, of course, in a state of sin. (Quoted in Knuth, 1968, Vol. 2, also in Goldstine, 1972, p. 297.)
    -John Von Neumann-

    One the one hand, research is using our ignorance as a springboard for fantasy.  On the other hand, a healthy fantasy helps us aspire to greater heights.
