Hicks, "Branch Decomposition Heuristics for Linear Matroids," Journal of Discrete Optimization. 725-734. CXVII (October 2014), pgs. He completed his PhD in 1999 on “Elliptic Curves and Icosahedral Galois Representations” from Stanford University, under Daniel Bump and Karl Rubin. "Mathematical Lives" is a continuing series of stories about mathematicians from underrepresented backgrounds with connections to the Stanford Math department as well as an exploration of representation and diversity in mathematics. Even if our individual gifts are not major gifts, collectively we can make a difference. Edray Herber Goins grew up in South Los Angeles, California. He currently runs an NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) titled "Pomona Research in Mathematics Experience (PRiME).”  Prof. Goins is interested in (1) Selmer groups for elliptic curves using class groups of number fields, (2) Belyi maps and Dessins d’Enfants, (3) origami as branched covers of elliptic curves, and (4) Galois groups, monodromy groups, and etale fundamental groups.
