About me

I am currently an Instructor at the University of Arkansas. I was previously a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas from 2023-2026 and before that a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Kansas from 2020-2023. I am on the academic job market for the 2026-2027 season.

I study prime characteristic rings and their local cohomology modules, specifically uniformity in ideal closures in prime characteristic and singularity types defined in terms of uniform ideal closures. See my research page for more information.

- Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of Missouri-Columbia, May 2020
  Advisor: Dr. Ian Aberbach
  Title: Frobenius Closure and Prime Characteristic Singularities
- M.A. in Mathematics, University of Missouri-Columbia, December 2018
- B.Sc. in Mathematics, University of Kansas, May 2014

I co-organize Cookies for Proof, a weekly math club for Fayetteville high school students. We study a variety of advanced mathematical and computer science topics, this semester we are looking at formal computability in previous semesters we discussed ray tracing and elliptic curve cryptography.

I also help coordinate the Arkansas Math Discovery Day, a yearly community outreach event which brings the joy of mathematics to patrons at the Fayetteville Public Library.

My hobbies include reading, playing video and board games, cooking and baking, biking, and spending time with my two cats (Cheops and George).
