I am excited to work with students at all stages on individual projects. I have a several projects in theoretical areas (including quantum algebra and topology) and applied areas (including quantum computing and information science and topological data analysis). Specialized knowledge is not required; a solid basis in calculus and linear algebra is more than enough. Interested students are welcome to contact me directly for further information.
