Welcome to my homepage. I just received my Ph.D. in May 1996. My thesis explores the generation of edge oscillations in the semiconductor Fabry-Perot interferometer using the techniques of dynamical systems. The main tools in this research are geometric singular perturbation theory and geometric methods for analyzing the stability of solutions to semilinear systems of parabolic partial differential equations. This work was done under the supervision of Prof. Christopher K.R.T. Jones.

I will gladly send out preprints based on my thesis or copies of my other work (see Publications below), on settling of aerosol particles in a cellular flow field and on direct complements of invariant Lagrangian subspaces and minimal factorizations of skew-symmetric rational matrix functions, by request (use e-mail address above).

Enough about work! I am also a vegetarian and an avid soccer player/fan (with a U.S. bias). I graduated from The College of William and Mary in beautiful Williamsburg, Virginia. This is not a small Catholic women's school, by the way! Please say hello to my friend Bill Clinton and that rascally Newt Gingrich and Co. whenever you feel like it! Thanks to my brother, Zack Rubin, I also have a URL for my hometown, Columbia, Maryland.

I saved the best for last: I have a wonderful wife named Ellen. But she doesn't have a home page.
