Biography 

I have been at Bard since Fall 2016.  Before that, I held visiting positions at Wellesley College and the Cooper Union. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Courant Institute (New York University), and my B.A. in Mathematics from Yale University after switching from a major in Philosophy in my junior year. 

Research

My research is in discrete geometry, with an emphasis on those problems which are amenable to topological methods or admit continuous generalizations.  I am particularly interested in (1) fair division problems  for discrete and continuous measures along the lines of the classical "ham sandwich" theorem,  (2) variants and extensions of classical intersection results from convex geometry, especially Tverberg's theorem,  and (3) embedding problems for simplicial complexes.
