Research
My main objects of study are alternating sign matrices, which are (0,1,-1)-matrices in which the non-zero entries of each row and column alternate in sign, beginning and ending with 1. Particular objects of interest to me include alternating signed bipartite graphs and related edge colouring problems, alternating sign hypermatrices and related Latin-like square structures, finite subgroups of GL(n,Q) generated by alternating sign matrices, and algebraic structures relating to alternating sign matrices when their entries are considered to be elements of F_3.
