Welcome to my Web site.

My research interests are topology of hyperplane arrangements and configuration spaces of piecewise linear knots.

Recent papers include

1. (with Jonathan Simon and Joshua Tokle) Mobius transformations of polygons and partitions of 3-space, ArXiv GT/0602466.

2. The space of piecewise-linear knots, Contemporary Mathematics 304, 2002, 31-36.

3. Morse theory, Milnor fibers and the minimality of hyperplane arrangements, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 130, 2002, 2737-2743, ArXiv AT/0011101.

4. (with M. Falk) On the homotopy theory of arrangements, II, Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics 27 (2000), Arrangements—Tokyo 1998, North Holland, Amsterdam, 2000, pp. 93-125, ArXiv CO/0002107
