Music I record music as Alanza. Last year I released my first album, Learning to Run, which you can buy on Bandcamp or listen to on streaming (Apple Music, or Spotify for instance). I appeared on Dan Derks’s lovely Sound and Process podcast to talk about many things including the process of making the album. Lines I’m a moderator of the forum Lines, a forum about art, music, technology, etc. It would be great to have you join the conversation.

Research Here is my CV. Publications and Preprints One-endedness of outer automorphism groups of free products of finite and cyclic groups Available at arXiv:2305.04986. Abstract In a previous paper, we showed that the group of outer automorphisms of the free product of two nontrivial finite groups with an infinite cyclic group has infinitely many ends, despite being of virtual cohomological dimension two. The main result of this paper is that aside from this exception, having virtual cohomological dimension at least two implies the outer automorphism group of a free product of finite and cyclic groups is one ended.

I am not teaching in the 2023–2024 academic year.
