I started teaching at OSU in September of 2006. I spent the 2007-2008 school year visiting at Cornell (where my wife is studying for a PhD in Musicology), while on a leave of absence.

Students

Denny

Denny Jackson

Denny has been working on developing a classical density functional describing water in its liquid and vapor states. This functional is based on the "Fundamental-Measure Theory" density functional for describing the hard-sphere fluid. For a bit more information, see slides from the talk he presented at the APS NW meeting in May 2008.

Jason Dagit

Jason Jason is a Masters student in Computer Science, and has been working on the patch theory of darcs and ensuring its proper use via type witnesses.
