3. Postdoctoral Program - MSRI

eginning of the Fall semester, and a combined article will be submitted for publication shortly
thereafter.
I have given talks on this work at the “Differential Geometry and its Applications” conference
talk in Brno, CZ in September 2010, at Texas A&M University in October 2010, and at a special
workshop on conformal geometry at the University of Arkansas in April 2011. I also made trips
to Texas A&M University in November 2010 and the University of Colorado in December 2010
to collaborate and discuss research with Dennis The, Jeanne Clelland, George Wilkens, and Matt
Stackpole.
In addition to this 2-part program, I have hypotheses for another project that arose while
considering various aspects of the original problem, and I expect to actively pursue it in the Fall
2011 semester.
Aside from my own research, there have been several other academic activities. I refereed a
paper for a highly-regarded journal in Fall 2010. I have tried to be of service to Niky Kamran's
current graduate students, including serving on the exam committee of one of the PhD candidates
and giving some suggestions on how to approach a new problem for another PhD candidate.
Finally, Francis Valiquette, Niky Kamran, and I have organized the workshop "Moving Frames
in Geometry" at CRM in Montreal in June 2011.
