My doctoral dissertation is in commutative algebra, but I have broad mathematical interests. In the past several years, I've also worked on research projects in graph theory, combinatorics, mathematical games, topology, and voting theory. I most enjoy projects that I can work on with students. In some of my past lives, I was a gymnast and a chemist. Someday, I would like to partner with chemistry faculty on projects in the nontrivial intersection between chemistry and mathematics. My goal in the classroom is to have students doing mathematics in class, instead of watching me do mathematics. This means I use inquiry-based learning strategies in a variety of ways in my classrooms.
