I am an Assistant Professor in the mathematics department at Illinois State University. My research is primarily in structural graph theory and graph colouring. I especially like problems involving planar graphs.
I co-organize (with Prof. Amin Bahmanian) ISU's Discrete Math Seminar. If you'd like to give a talk, please get in touch (though note we're unable to provide funding for travel).

In F26, I'll be teaching two sections of MAT 145: Calculus I. Current students: check our canvas page if you're in need of any course-related info.
