About me:

Education:

Ph.D.: Mathematics Dartmouth College, June 2011

Advisor: Dr. Scott Pauls

My doctoral research concerned the existence and examples of minimal surfaces
in the roto-translation group equipped with a sub-Riemannian metric.
In particular, I studied so called "spanning" minimal
surfaces that fill in "2 dimensional holes" in a given surface.
Such spanning minimal surfaces can be interpreted a disocclusion of an
occluded image. Furthermore, the mathematics behind this technique is believed
to model the process by which the human visual cortex (V1) disoccludes images.

I invite you to mail me with any and all questions about Math at Johnson State College,
the area, or anything else!
