I'm currently an AARMS postdoc at Dalhousie University working on, for lack of a better term, "discrete science".

During my PhD candidature, I studied the number of Latin squares/rectangles, and symmetries of Latin squares. Recently I have been expanding my interests into computer science and computational biology. One recent focal point is network motifs.

I am particularly fond of computational discrete mathematics. I often use:

• GAP (computer algebra system),
• R (for statistical computing),
• Prover9 (automated theorem prover),
• C or C++ (if speed is required).

Please visit my website for more info (e.g. a list of publications).

On this site:

• I block the [homework] tag. As much as I'd like to help, too many people are using this website to cheat on assignments and I don't want my name anywhere near this.
• I have no desire to "race" people for the first answer, so I tend to answer older questions.
• I downvote and vote-to-close questions that appears to be copy/pasted without reference or effort. Please don't do this.
• I tend to upvote computational questions/answers. I encourage users to add more of these (as long as they have something to do with mathematics).

To draw graphs I use tikz (see also tikz examples), which is a rather extensive LaTeX package. I often write ad hoc scripts to prepare the tikz code more quickly and elegantly.
