Research Interests: My research mostly considers the local dynamics of analytic maps defined near a fixed point, with respect to both archimedean and non-archimedean norm. Specifically, I am interested in the following questions:

• What smoothness criteria may be attached to existing conjugating maps between holomorphic func- tions within Cn? • What are the analytic conjugacies present between mappings who eigenvalues possess resonance, in both the archimedean and non-archimedean categories, in two (or more) dimensions? • In the non-archimedean setting, is it possible to give sharp estimates of the coefficients of an expansion of some analytic conjugating map at the fixed point (which is typically chosen to be the origin)? • What connections and comparisons can be drawn between the archimedean and non-archimedean local theories? (The contrasts are often more easily determined.)

See my research statement for a fuller accounting of these topics, as well as for other interests. Publications and Preprints:
