Welcome to my website!
I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of South Florida, Department of Mathematics and Statistics. My duties involve primarily research and teaching.
I am part of the research group of Thomas Bieske and I am co-advising an undergraduate research project of Keller Blackwell.
Keller was a recipient of the Goldwater Scholarship in 2019.
I am also the organizer of the Differential Geometry seminar for the 2018/2019 academic year.
I received my Ph.D in Mathematics in 2018 from the University of Pittsburgh under the supervision of Juan Manfredi and Marta Lewicka.
Scrolling down you will find for more information about my research interests, papers, current and past courses, materials and exercises for Calculus.
Feel free to contact me should you have any questions (you can find my address at the end of the page).
For my students: my Spring 2019 Office Hours are Tu-Th 12:30-1:45 in CMC 110.
If you can't make it, send me an e-mail to schedule extra office hours at a more convenient time!
