Research
My primary research interests are related to Leonard pairs and tridiagonal pairs. I am currently studying ways to generalize results from the theory of distance-regular graphs to an abstract algebraic level. My academic advisor is Paul Terwilliger.
Publications
A characterization of Leonard pairs using the notion of a tail. Linear Algebra
Appl. 435 (2011) 2961-2970; arXiv:0911.0098v1.
