CITI
I work at the University of Michigan's Center for Information Technology Integration (CITI), on the NFS version 4 project. (Previously, I worked for a while on the Advanced Packet Vault.)
I have some notes on the linux kernel (work in progress).
You can pick up an out-of-date résumé here.
Mathematics
I received my PhD in 2000 from the Math Department at the University of Michigan.
My dissertation was written under the direction of Mel Hochster, and is a study of the lengths of modules determined by killing powers of several ideals of a local ring, as a function of the exponents; download a copy of my thesis here.
Also available is a pdf of a Journal of Algebra article based on the thesis, which covers the same material but with some improved proofs.
Other stuff
I juggle with the Ann Arbor juggling club, and have sometimes helped organize our juggling festival.
I've served on the board of the Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition.
I help out a little with Arbor Update.
