Peer reviewed publications

Find me on google scholar.

Technical details of my research are provided in peer-reviewed pubications. Many of these scientific journals requires a subscription or payment to access, however pre-publication versions (the links beginning with arXiv) are free for anyone to read. When available, I’ve linked to both.
