My academic family tree.
CV Feel free to email me a request for electronic copies of papers/preprints.
Selected Publications:
My current main areas of research are celestial mechanics, bioinformatics and mathematical modeling of trypanosomes, and the production of nectar in flowering plants. For a complete list of my publications see my CV (link above); the papers below are selected to illustrate the range of my work.
