Research Overview

My primary research interest is concerned with understanding of patterns in high-dimensional data sets geometrically, which translates into a myriad of theoretical, algorithmic, and computational analysis of massive data sets from a geometric perspective. Current projects include:

  1. investigate ways to enhance student learning outcomes or increase student success.

Computing Resources

The main computational engine in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is a 8 quad-core Intel Processor Blade Cluster. The cluster Pyramid (pyramid.cnsm.csulb.edu) may be accessed remotely. Please contact me via email if you are interested in obtaining an account on Pyramid to run large scale computations.

Research Students

If you are a student at CSULB and interested in starting research, feel free to come and talk to me about how to start one.
