About

Research

My work involves analyzing probabilistic models using algebraic tools. Most recently, that involves Polymer and Six-Vertex models using techniques like geometric RSK and the Yang-Baxter equation. If you’re interested or want to talk, reach out! I go more in depth on the research page

Teaching

I have a passion for teaching, whether it be upper-level courses for math majors, introductory courses for non-majors, or tutoring. See more about my philosophy and experience on the teaching page

Mentoring

I am currently directing our graduate student’s reading program for undergraduates. I run my own reading group, often based on my research. Look here if you are interested in participating.

Education

As an undergraduate, I got an Honors B.S. in Math and a B.S. Physics at the University of Rochester, while also minoring in Music. I’ve received my Master of Arts in Mathematics, also from the University of Rochester.

Music

I’ve played the viola since I was young, and continue playing in orchestras around Rochester. In my time at U of R, I’ve been an active member of the Music Department on the River Campus and participated in opportunities at Eastman.

I was fortunate enough to also be given the chance to be an Assistant Conductor for the University of Rochester Orchestras, conducting multiple times in concerts and rehearsals.

For many years, I was also the Head librarian and took care of many related administrative duties.

I am relatively new to the conducting end of things, but if you are curious in what I’ve done, feel free to reach out!

Athletics

I’ve worked on the game operations staff in the Athletic Department at U of R since my first year. We track and collect live play-by-play statistics, run the scoreboard and clocks, and complete other administrative duties during the matches/games of the varsity athletic teams.
