Welcome
At the Vieux Port in Marseilles, France, Sept. 13, 2013
I am Senior Scientist at the University of Leoben (Austria). My research is centered around, but not restricted to, the base-q representation of an integer. The three main manifestations of this topic in my research concern (0) linear subsequences of substitutive sequences, for example, of the Thue–Morse sequence; (1) understanding addition in terms of digital expansions; (2) divisibility of combinatorially interesting numbers like binomial coefficients. I like other beautiful things too, such as finding mathematics in nature (see below), or piano music.
