Read all about it
The
genus one helicoid
(image by Matthias Weber) attracted some attention
for minimal surface theory in the lay press:
Science News and
American Scientist
both published accounts.
The (wonderful) Simons Foundation produced a
short video
profile of me in 2020.
Some Pictures of Surfaces
My collaborator, Matthias Weber, maintains an interesting
gallery
of minimal and other surfaces on his home page.
The Rice Emerging Scholars Program
While I was on the faculty at Rice University (1988-2022), I co-founded and co-directed the Rice Emerging Scholars Program (RESP). This project comprised a comprehensive suite of activities to help students with fantastic potential for success in STEM realize their ambitions, even if their high school preparation was not ideal.
