Research Interests
- Symmetry Studies: This research program combines algebraic, statistical, and probabilistic methods applicable to the analysis of experimental data that are subject to symmetry considerations. Applications of the methods include several areas ranging from the study of short symbolic sequences such as DNA frequency counts, to interpretations and decompositions of entropy, the study of preference data, the study of symmetry preferences, space orientation, molecular handedness, and the study of refractive profiles and curvature models for the cornea, among others theoretical applications. The student will have the opportunity to explore several applications of symmetry matching his/her particular interests in physics, biology, chemistry, or mathematics. A sample of some of these applications, at the undergraduate level, is available here http://symmetrystudies.blogspot.com/
- The students will also have the opportunity to be introduced to computational tools using specialized symbolic logic software such as Maple or Mathematica and typesetting software such as LaTeX for professional presentation of their research results.
