Research

The following are projects on which I am currently working. Students interested in working on one of these projects should contact me.

  • Integral Transforms
    Working with Osman Yürekli and John Maceli, we are studying new identities arising among integral transforms and special functions.
  • Canopy Structure of 3-D Fractal Trees
    This project examines the structure of ternary trees branching in 3-dimensional space, focusing on the structure of the endpoints of the branching process; ie, the canopy. This work is part of the IC REU in Computer Science.
  • Self-Contact in Asymmetric Planar Fractal Trees
    This project involves determining the conditions under which tip-to-tip self-contact occurs in planar trees with two scaling ratios.
  • Newton's Method Dynamics for Real Quartic Polynomials
    In this project, we investigate the dynamical and parameter planes of Newton's Method applied to quartic polynomials with real coefficients.
  • Newton's Method and Generalized Fibonacci Sequences
    Limits of the sequence of consecutive terms in generalized Fibonacci sequences are investigated via Newton's Method.
  • Transcendental Functions with Two Critical Values
    In this project, parameter spaces for families of transcendental functions is explored.
  • Dynamics of the Exponential Sine Family
