Research or other interests:

My primary area of research is Functional Equations and Linear Algebra. In this, I have examined characterizations of the determinant and permanent functions by the Cauchy-Binet relation, functional equations that characterize n-th Cauchy differences, and have found two new functional equations that characterize logarithmic functions.

My secondary area of research is Combinatorics, Classical Differential Geometry and Tensors, and Group Theory. Here I have considered multinomial and inverse multinomial coefficient identities.

I am also interested in International Folk Dancing; Eastern European Ethnic Studies; the study of German, Russian, history, and archaeology; nature studies, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities.
