Research: My specialty is the area of low dimensional topology called knot theory (knotted DNA and knotted molecules are applications). Recently I have worked in number theory with twin primes and factoring large numbers.

For challenge and excitement I enjoy cycling (ultra cycling and 24 hour races), running, duathlons, juggling, frisbee golf, keeping freshwater fish, reading, and learning new ideas.
