About Me:

I am an Assistant Professor in the mathematics deparment at Grinnell College. I do research in algebraic topology with a focus on equivariant homotopy theory. A lot of my research involves trying to compute and understand algebraic invariants for spaces endowed with an action by some fixed finite group. Check out my "Research" tab for more information and links to my papers.

I am currently co-organizing the Grinnell Math and Statistics Student Seminar. If you are a Grinnell student who has done some math research you'd like to share, please reach out! Our seminar meets many Thursdays at 4:15PM, and we have speakers from Grinnell and other nearby universities. We also have department tea every Thursday from 3:45-4:15PM outside of Noyce 2517. Tea and seminar are open to all math-interested Grinnellians!

Before Grinnell I did lots of math on the West Coast. From 2020-2023 I was a Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor at UCLA in the mathematics department working with Mike Hill. I was also involved with the electronic Computational Homotopy Theory (eCHT) online research community and supported as a National Science Foundation (NSF) eCHT Reasearch Training Group Postdoctoral Fellow. Before that I was a graduate student at Univeristy of Oregon from 2014-2020. I finished my PhD in 2020 at the University of Oregon under the supervision of Dan Dugger.

My "Teaching" tab has information about my current and past courses taught at Grinnell, UCLA, and UO.
