I am a Gabilan Distinguished Professor of Science and Engineering and a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Southern California .  My research is primarily in Algebraic Combinatorics with connections to representation theory, statistical mechanics and probability, computational complexity theory.  I also do some modeling in molecular biology. I am an Editor-in-Chief for the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, Editor for Arnold Mathematical Journal and serve on the Editorial Board of Algebraic Combinatorics . I am also one of the three writers/editors of the Putnam Mathematical Competition (for 2023-2025). Currently sponsored by  NSF grants: CCF.
