Current Work

Research Interests

I study algorithms and complexity theory. I think about a lot of questions, but a few of them haunt me more than others. For one, does every function implementable with a low memory footprint also have a fast implementation? (Is P = PSPACE?) Could computers themselves help us make progress on answering this question?

About Me

I grew up near the big city of Somerville, Alabama, where there is good fishing in the water and good football on the radio.
