Scholarly Interests: I have interests in a wide variety of topics, mostly related to algebra, logic, combinatorics, and statistical genetics and phylogeny. Particular topics of interest include: lattice theory, particularly partition lattices and congruence lattices; Coxeter groups; statistical models for molecular evolution.
