Ph.D., Yale University (2010-2015)

Postdoctoral Fellow, Brown University (2015-2019) 

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
