 Research

My research is in the area of combinatorial representation theory.  I am interested in representations of classical and quantum groups.  I am also interested in algebraic combinatorics. I hold an NSERC grant  for my research.

My  Erdös number   is 2 (since one of my coauthors, Ortrud Oellermann, has Erdös number equal to 1).

Math Education Links

Over the past two years I have become interested in K-12 math education, primarily because I think there are serious problems with the Manitoba math curriculum and often with the way math is taught in schools.  I have given a number of media interviews on this topic which can be viewed at WISE Math. 

In November, 2011, I co-organized a Math Education conference:

The Art and Science of Math Education

Recommended Math Programs / Resources for Kids:
