I'm an Associate Professor in the Math Department at Brooklyn College and at the CUNY Graduate Center. I received my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota. My research lies in the field of arithmetic geometry.
My interactions with students and colleagues are built up from the following axioms written by Professor Federico Ardila at San Francisco State University:
Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Axiom 4. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
In addition to my research and teaching, I am also a co-founder and co-organizer of the Rethinking Number Theory workshop series.
Statement on AI
Statement on AI
I do not use AI in my research, writing, or teaching and have no plans to do so in the future. I think mathematics is a beautiful subject. I enjoy thinking, writing, and working with collaborators. I want to continue to experience and get better at these things every day, and I do not want offload any of this to a computer. I have many other reasons for not using AI and would be happy to chat in person or over email.
Some thoughts for senior mathematicians (i.e., those of us who serve as mentors to the next generation of mathematicians):
If there is a task that you are thinking about using AI for in a project, could that task instead be done by a student or junior colleague as part of their learning process?
We should be working to ensure that there is a next generation of mathematicians who can have healthy, thriving careers. By using AI to create new math, we are taking away opportunities and creating unreasonable publication standards for our community.
We have the opportunity to shape the future of our profession and set an example for those in earlier stages of their careers. It's important that we speak up about our policies and show that there are many of us who want to continue doing mathematics without AI.
