Summary
My research is in combinatorics on words, an area that lies at the border of mathematics and theoretical computer science. I am primarily interested in long strings over small alphabets — which patterns can be avoided and which must inevitably occur? I use a mix of mathematical proof and computation to establish new results related to pattern avoidance.
