Lecturer and Math Support Coordinator

Currently teaching:

• MATH-1040 Introduction to Probability  (MWF, 8:50–9:40, Carver 305)

• MATH-1050 Introduction to Mathematical Ideas  (MWF, 1:10–2:00, Carver 305)

...and also a mathematics researcher~

Currently interested in:  Existence/nonexistence of higher diamond density universal partial cycles;  generating methods for perfect necklaces;  classification of universal partial cycles and restricted universal partial cycles;  finding a generalized method for drawing De Bruijn graphs “nicely”;  fiddling with hexaflexagons and constructing origami polyhedra.

Past research:  Off-diagonal generalized Schur numbers;  the uncertainty principle and applications to sparse data recovery;  twisted generalized Weyl algebras;  minimal tilings of rectangles with squares;  odd-path coverings of graphs.

Future areas of interest:  Algebraic and geometric applications of graph theory and combinatorics; classification of families of sequences and cycles;  combinatorial games;  graph drawings;  teaching undergraduate mathematics (especially proofs, combinatorics, set theory, graph theory, and developmental courses);  diversity/equity/inclusion efforts in mathematics and in higher education as a whole.
