OBJECTIVE: To write sophisticated software tools combining computer
science and mathematics.

EXPERIENCE ------------------------------

SENIOR DEVELOPER AND SCIENTIST
May 1999-present

Create algorithms in Java for a software company that models large
telecommunications networks.  Develop code to model the global
end-to-end traffic in a network, given only local data.  Create code
to lay out a large network on a map so it is attractive and easy to
read.  Solve optimization problems with numerical analysis or
simulated annealing.  Write C routines for queueing theory problems.
Use Visual Basic to create an interface between our product and
Microsoft Visio.  Build Java GUIs with custom scientific graphical
components.  Write and maintain routine GUI windows.  Check for memory
leaks in company-wide code using a graphical memory debugger.  Advise
younger developers.

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS, Oklahoma State Univ., Stillwater, OK
August 1990-December 1999

Received tenure in 1995.  Wrote and distributed Sheafhom, a
10,000-line program in Common Lisp/CLOS for research in algebraic
topology.  Received two three-year National Science Foundation grants
to develop Sheafhom.  With co-authors, published 11 research articles
in topology and number theory.  Won the department's Outstanding Math
Instructor award in 1992.  Taught undergraduate and graduate math
courses, such as calculus, abstract algebra, topology, and algorithmic
number theory.  Programmed in the mathematical packages Maple, Pari,
Macaulay 2, and Mathematica.

VISITING MEMBER, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J.
1994-95 and 1998-99

Focused on algebraic topology, number theory and combinatorics.

VISITING PROFESSOR, MIT, Cambridge, MA
September-December 1993

Focused on geometry, topology and combinatorics.

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
September 1987-August 1990.

Carried out research in algebraic topology and number theory.  Wrote
research code in Scheme and Fortran.  Taught at the undergraduate and
graduate level.  Won the Levenson Prize, a university-wide teaching
award for junior faculty.

GRADUATE STUDENT IN MATHEMATICS, Brown University, Providence, R.I.
September 1982-August 1987.

Carried out research in algebraic topology, advised by Robert
MacPherson.  Wrote and ran large mathematical programs on a Symbolics
Lisp Machine.  Wrote research code in APL.  Taught at the undergradate
level.
