From 2018–2024, I mentored 16 undergraduate students over the course of 20 projects in the University of Chicago Mathematics REU. Their projects ranged across dynamics, ergodic theory, geometry, probability, and other areas of mathematics, with many closely connected to my own research in dynamical systems. Several students worked with me over multiple summers, and many have subsequently pursued graduate study in mathematics and related fields.
