I work in enumerative and analytic combinatorics. Most of my papers study special sequences and polynomials (Stirling, Bell, Fubini and geometric polynomials), set partitions and permutations, and the generating functions behind them. Where I can, I prove identities with combinatorial arguments.

The list below is kept up to date by hand. For citation counts, see my Google Scholar profile.
