Short Bio: Educated as a mathematician at Trinity College, Cambridge, earned a PhD at University of Waterloo: taught at Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech and currently teach at Clemson University. Passionate about mathematics, and tying it to other experiences: especially origami, magic tricks, music, poetry, art and cooking. I run STEM outreach events in local elementary schools, with a peer-teaching component: the best way to get children to be passionate about science is to get them to teach it to other children!
Honoraria are generally appreciated by our presenters, in addition to travel expenses. If you would like Neil to present at your event, please send him an email to make arrangements.
