I am a sixth-year PhD student and VIGRE Trainee in the School of Mathematics at the Georgia Institue of Technology. I defended my dissertation on 1 October 2009 and will graduate in May 2010. I work with Tom Trotter in combinatorics, particularly finite partially ordered sets, extremal combinatorics, and on-line combinatorial algorithms. After growing up in a small town in western North Dakota (and by small, I really do mean small, as in 275 people) and graduating at the top of my class of nine students at Halliday High School, I did my undergraduate work at North Dakota State University, where I majored in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science.
