Research Interests

Darrah has published a series of papers on the geometry of tilings and is the author of Drawing Pictures with One Line: Exploring Graph Theory (1983). For many years he coached the College’s teams in the annual ACM Computer Programming Competition, including two teams that went to the international finals. Special interests include the design and analysis of algorithms, software engineering, parallel programming, geometry, and ethnomathematics. In summer 2012, he mentored research by Hugh Smith ’13 on games on graphs (supported the Sanger Summer Scholars Program) and a McNair Scholars Project (funded by the U.S. Department of Education TRIO program) with Mackenzie Endress ’14 on game theoretic aspects of the influence of Super PACs in the 2012 Presidential election.
