Welcome to my tiny corner of the web. As you browse my page, I hope the elegant CSS styling and soothing color tones will calm your troubled mind. If you are sitting near an officemate or co-worker, I suggest a series of Platonic hugs, to heighten this feeling. Enjoy!

New: I am a recipient of the Dean's Fellowship Award for 2008-2009.
