Selected Earlier Research Papers

Selected papers from 2003-2011, the years closest before my full-time appointments as Faculty Dean (2012-2014) and Vice President (2015-2022). The list below has not been kept up to date since 2011 when academic web searches made manually assembled lists obsolete (but see caveat below). For a better overview of my research papers, especially more current ones, see here instead (although Google Scholar fails to track 14 of my papers, see here).
