*This Page Under Construction*

Calling this page "Under Construction" used to be a Joke, but now it really will be changing soon! (see below).
  • Internet Search Result Probabilities,Heaps’ law and Word Associativity
    The paper (written with Dr. Bruce Bukiet) has been accepted to The Journal of Quantitative Linguistics. I also presented a poster (pdf) at the NJIT Applied and Computational Mathematics Conference (May 15-16 2006). The paper has a few extra things not mentioned in the poster. I recently spoke at Google on this topic.
     
  • Googlewhacks for Fun and Profit, Heaps' Law and Search Engine Index Size
    I gave a Tech Talk to Google New York on this topic on May 22 2008. A complete video of this talk will be up on youtube soon.
     
  • Separating mutation and selection in the evolution of plant genomes
    Summer 2008, I am working at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot Israel with Amos Tanay from their department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. Perhaps I may publish something from my work here.
     
  • The Free-for-All Effect:
    A Mechanism for Drastically Fluctuating Rates of Evolution
    In the summers of 2006-7  I worked with Chris Adami at the Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont CA. My research regarding computational evolution used the software Avida. I hope to complete the project soon.
     
  • Mathematical Ecology
    In the summer of 2005 I participated in a Math Biology Training Program UBMTP, I gave a short talk on my work at an Mathematical Biology Seminar in January. We displayed a poster (PPT) at the annual meeting of The Ecological Society of America. My partner and I have also drafted a paper but I do not expect its publication.
     
  • I organized the development of a certain website.  It got over 100,000 page-views from dozens of countries in only the first two months after release.  Read a few more details Here.
     
  • I have a photo of mine published in the physics journal of the Roland Eotvos Physical Society of Budpaest, regarding a paper on rainbows.  Unfortunately the journal is entirely in Hungarian.  Prof. Jozsef Cserti saw it on this site where the glory phenomenon is explained.  A picture of the journal is below

 

Sure I've written some Op-Eds poems and Comics for my various school's newspapers, literary journals and websites, but I don't think any of it is worth mentioning here.

Some topics with mad potential:

  • I would love to research clean energy from ocean waves, please make me aware of any opportunities:
  • My oscilloscope Here is pretty scientific.
  • I have a creative way of looking at differential calculus- and a pipe dream to publish it.  Don't hold your breath.

 

Always feel free to e-mail me comments and questions (both technical and not)
