Modelling moving loads on floating ice plates »
The response due to a non-uniformly moving load has been investigated, and in particular it has been shown from a time-dependent dispersive Whitham-type equation with loading, that the response may be magnified considerably when a moving load decelerates.

Hyperplane arrangements and Hodge theory »
The Top Heavy Conjecture is an elementary statement about linear algebra that was open for 43 years until its recent proof by Huh and Wang, using fancy algebraic geometry. I will describe this result and discuss associated generalizations.

Multiplicative orders of elements in finite fields »
In this talk, I will outline some bounds which arise from counting certain partitions (for lower bounds) and the analytic class number formula (for upper bounds).
