| Description of Research | |||
| My main research interests have revolved around number theory. Even though my academic training was in pure mathematics, I was always interested in how mathematics was applied to real world problems. My first position, after receiving my PhD was at Sandia Laboratories. I have also served as a consultant to the Naval Ocean Systems Center and hold five patents in Signal Processing. | |||
