Mentoring Experience

Doctoral Intern|2020-2023

Mason Experimental Geometry Lab, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA

Lab Director: Dr. Anton Lukyanenko

Visualization, 2020-2021

Faculty Mentor: Dr. Anton Lukyanenko

This series of projects has been focused on developing applications that showcase some aspect of geometry, such as a hyperbolic archery game, a game of Snake in various surfaces, and hyperbolic soccer once again.

Failures of Media Communication During COVID, 2020

Faculty Mentor: Dr. Rebecca Goldin

During the COVID pandemic, various media outlets have used misleading wording and visual representations, inadvertently working against the point they were trying to make. This project was on identifying some of these representations, as well as some ways to rectify them.

The Equivariant Cohomology of Peterson Varieties, 2021

Faculty Mentor: Dr. Rebecca Goldin

With the natural torus action on flag varieties we have the equivariant inclusion a Peterson variety, which gives ring homomorphisms to the equivariant cohomology of the Peterson variety. This project is on understanding these ring homomorphisms, and how Schubert classes in the cohomology of the flag variety decompose in the Peterson variety.
