My main research interests are in Differential Geometry. For the past decade I have been most interested in Lie sphere geometry applied to problems of Dupin hypersurfaces in spheres and isoparametric hypersurfaces, and to surfaces in space (that is, in three-dimensional space forms).
The following is a list of my papers. There are links to preprints (as ps or pdf files) which have not yet appeared in published form.
