Welcome! I am currently am Assistant Professor at Rose-Hulman. Prior to coming to Rose, I spent two years as a Ross Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University, where my postdoctoral mentor was Eric Katz. I received my Ph.D. from  University of Kentucky in May 2018 under the direction of Benjamin Braun. My research interests lie in algebraic combinatorics and polyhedral geometry.

Here is my Curriculum Vita (Updated September 13, 2024)

I am partially supported by NSF DMS #2418532.

I  believe in Federico Ardila-Mantilla's Axioms, which I have posted here:

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. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
