Publications and Talks
My publications span arithmetic geometry, mathematical illustration, computational experimentation, and mathematical art. They reflect both my work in pure mathematics and my interdisciplinary research exploring visualization and physical creation as tools for mathematical discovery. Below is a selection of publications and preprints.
