About Me

Welcome! I am a Harold L. Dorwart visiting assistant professor at Trinity College where I put my passion for teaching mathematics and statistics into practice. Currently, I am very interested in machine learning and data science, specifically as it pertains to quantitative finance. Previously, my research interest was in symplectic geometry and how it interacts with other fields of mathematics such as algebraic geometry. I also have some work on almost complex manifolds, algebraic topology, and a generalized eigenvalue problem in applied math. I earned my BS in mathematics and BA in philosophy and Greek from Calvin College and my PhD from Stony Brook University.
