I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa, with with concentration in Teaching & Learning. My research focuses on mathematical reasoning, mathematical communication, and math competitions. More about my current research can be found on the Research page, while my previous work is located on Publications and Talks pages.
At the same time, I am still continuing teaching math, mostly as a teaching assistant and instructor of courses at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Ottawa, following my graduation with a Bachelor (Honours) and Master's degrees in Mathematics from Thompson Rivers University and McMaster University, respectively. More about that can be found on the Teaching page.
Both my CV and Teaching Portfolio can be provided upon request.
During my university journey, I have been an active member of various communities and committees, the full list of which can be found on Service page. I believe that being an active member of a community is an important duty of an individual as a member of our society, and I recommend everyone to find something of this sort.
One of the important communities for me is the space of mathematics competitions, which I am now researching. Back in the day, I was able to be a participant of this movement throughout my schooling in Ukraine, and now I get to organise some in Canada, introducing locals to team competitions, hopefully changing the "reputation" competitions gained in North America. More information about those can be found on Contests page.
