I am a member of the Dynamical Systems group at Northwestern.  I am particularly interested in ergodic theory and its connections with descriptive set theory and number theory.  If you don't know what ergodic theory is, click here (if you know some math) or here (if you are not a mathematician).

Click here for Steve Kalikow's book on ergodic theory [doc]

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in May 2006.  My Ph.D. thesis was supervised by Daniel J. Rudolph, Professor and Yates Chair at Colorado State University. 

I received my B.S. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in May 2000; I wrote a senior honors thesis in complex dynamics (studying the picture you see at the left) there under the direction of Professor Jane M. Hawkins.
