My research interests have been primarily in an area of pure mathematics called Graph Theory. Graph Theory is the study of rather simple objects consisting of sets and pairs of elements of that set and are typically visualized as drawings made of dots (called vertices) and lines or curves between the dots (called edges). Though simple, these types of graphs model a vast range of situations from communications networks to scheduling problems. 

The focus of my research has been in what is called structural graph theory and extremal graph theory. I look for conditions guaranteeing certain cycle and path structures in graphs. I am also interested in identifying when graphs have a sort of ``threshold" property where the addition of a single edge changes some crucial property of the graph.
