Preprints and Papers

• Preprint: Maximal skew sets of lines on a Hermitian surface and a modified Bron-Kerbosch algorithm with Haoyu Du, Madhav Krishna, Sandra Nair, Janet Page, and Tim Ryan
  • This came out of a LoG(M) project done by Haoyu and Madhav, where Janet and Tim were the faculty advisors, and Sandra and I were the grad mentors.
• Preprint: Geometry of Smooth Extremal Hypersurfaces with Janet Page, Tim Ryan, and Karen E. Smith
• The Cartier core map for Cartier algebras, Journal of Algebra [arXiv]
