Research Interests

My research interests lie in the field of topological and symbolic dynamical systems.  For an interesting open problem in symbolic dynamical systems written for undergraduates, see the following: Renewal Systems, Sharp Eyed Snakes and Shifts of Finite Type,
(with A. Johnson), American Mathematics Monthly 109, (2002), 258-272. Click for some recent research papers.
