Recent Publications

This page was added in April 2004 to provide links to some of my more recent publications. A couple of older ones have also been added. The papers are saved in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), but there are also a few presentations in Powerpoint (PPT) format.

To read the papers you need to have an Adobe Acrobat reader installed on your machine. If you do not have an Adobe reader, you can download a free copy from the Adobe web pages. Links are also included for some Powerpoint slideshows used at conferences or other presentations.

The following documents will be downloaded to a new window. Simply close the window to return to this index page.
