Current Research Interests

• Computer-aided surveying techniques for caves
• Modeling the formation of calcite rimstone dams
• Reactive influences upon Taylor Dispersion
• I'm not really a cryptology researcher, but I'm interested in it. I've written some applets related to classical cryptography and cryptanalysis for an online class I taught. You can find them here
