Instruction
This semester I will be teaching Advanced Graph Theory - Math 7405. I am presently supervising four active doctoral students and have two other students who haven't started their research - yet. I hold a weekly research seminar for the students, and will lead a Reading Course on DIGRAPHS. I was just awarded an NSF GK-12 award called Transforming Experiences (TELC), I just completed the web site. In addition, I teach - Counting the Possibilities - Discrete Mathematics for Middle School Teachers, which is part of our project to offer challenging content curriculum for Middle School Mathematics and Science teachers.
Research Interests
Graph Theory and Combinatorics is the area of my primary research interest. I have published recently on the following topics:
- Irregular Labelings of Graphs and Digraphs
- Cycle Structure in Combinatorial Structures
- Generalized Ramsey Theory
- Degree Sequences
- Saturation Number of a Graph

The Rocky Mountain Middle School Math Science Partnership
I'm one of the Co-PIs on the $12.5 M project, funded by the National Science Foundation which forms a collaboration between The University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center (UCDHSC) and several other institutions of higher education and numerous front range school districts forming The Rocky Mountain-Middle School Math and Science Partnership (RM-MSMSP). The ultimate Purpose of the partnership is to increase student achievement in grades 6-8. It is expected that teachers who have an opportunity to participate in this professional development will not only be NCLB "highly qualified" but also become “highly effective” teachers. These participants will also help to create a cadre of teachers who will be math and science leaders across the state. Check out RM-MSMSP.
