I am a researcher in general topology, serving as a tenured associate professor at the University of South Alabama.
My specializations include:
- selection principles and games
- limited information strategies in selection games and other topological games
- characterizations of covering properties
- generalized inverse limits indexed by arbitrary partial orders
I am also heavily involved in the development of modern cyberinfrastructure for mathematics research and instruction, particularly the production of next-generation mathematical documents and semantically searchable mathematical databases. As of writing I am an investigator on two National Science Foundation-funded projects related to this work.
- POSE: Phase I: An Open-Source Ecosystem for the Creation and Use of Accessible Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Open Education Resources
- Transforming Lower Division Undergraduate Mathematics Through Team-Based Inquiry Learning
In addition, my work as a mathematician strongly influences my teaching and game and puzzle design.
