``Does research. Smokes. Battles administration. Smokes. Wishes he could stop battling administration so that he could have more time to do research. Smokes some more. Gives jobs to starving foreigners. Eats occassionally.'' --- Eithne Murray
	Interests: Analysis of algorithms, analytic combinatorics (and vice versa), computer algebra, asymptotic analysis, special functions, random structures, natural languages. = (A proof I' m knowledgeable about mechanics?) (A proof some guy(s) in Europe know me?)
