I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Notre Dame, working with Jon Hauenstein to perform research on nonlinear systems.
I obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Texas A&M University, where I was supervised by Frank Sottile. Here is my CV.
Research interests: Computational algebraic geometry, toric geometry, applications of algebraic geometry in spectral theory, algebro-geometric methods in mathematical biology
Connor Parrow and I organize the new ACMS Graduate and Postdoc Seminar at the University of Notre Dame.
I was part of the 2025 AMS Mathematics Research Communities on Real Numerical Algebraic Geometry, led by Jonathan Hauenstein, Dhagash Mehta, Margaret Regan, Samantha Sherman, and Charles Wampler. Elaine Beebe wrote an article about it for the AMS Newsroom.
Description of duties: An Instructor of Record is completely in charge of a course. A Teaching Assistant is in charge of delivering quizzes and (for Math 150 - Math 152) teaching introductory Python to 3 course sections, each of approximately 30 students. Teaching assistants meet twice a week with each course section, outside of lectures. They are also in charge of partially grading homework assignments, quizzes, or exams. A Help Session tutor offers tutoring services for specific courses outside of the classroom. A Grader is in charge of grading homework assignments for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate mathematics course.
