Notes on contributors
Francis Edward Su
FRANCIS SU earned his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1995 studying random walks, but his interest in fair division was a result of thesis procrastination. His research is now (fairly? randomly?) divided between studies of random walk convergence and fair division algorithms. He is an assistant professor at Harvey Mudd College, a “blue dot” MAA Project NExT Fellow, and an amateur songwriter in his spare time. Since the writing of this article he and HMC undergraduate Elisha Peterson wrote a web applet that uses an improved trapdoor algorithm; their Fair Division Calculator works for cakes, chores, or rent and they invite you to try it out at http://www.math.hmc.edu/~su/fairdivision/.
