Courses I teach

During the 2019-2020 school year, I taught Math 215 (linear algebra). During the 2020-2021 school year, I'll be teaching the year-long abstract algebra sequence (Math 333 in the Fall and Math 334 in the Spring). 

 

Research: 

My research is in geometry, topology, and group theory. Key areas of interest include: 

  • Teichmuller theory and mapping class groups
  • Outer automorphisms of free groups
  • Dynamics of group actions 
  • Metric geometry, especially in the setting of non-positive curvature 
  • Problems arising at the overlap between surface topology and combinatorics
