Research

 

My research is generally based in the area of several complex variables with some focus on analytic geometry.  In particular, my research concerns a number of questions related to boundaries of holomorphic chains and some of the resulting connections to other areas such as partial differential equations and linear dependence.

 

PhD Thesis:

Concerning Characterizations of Boundaries of Holomorphic 1-Chains within Complex Surfaces, University of Michigan 2003 (pdf) (dvi) (ps)
