Presentations
I'm a strong believer in research as a collaborative endeavor, and that findings should be shared with the community in whatever capacity possible. To that end, I've included links to PDFs of talk slides and posters that I and/or my co-authors have presented at conferences and at other venues.
Presentations prior to 2010 can be requested by email.
