“I believe that mathematical reality lies outside us, that our function is to discover or observe it,
and that the theorems which we prove, and which we describe grandiloquently as our 'creations,'
are simply the notes of our observations.”
~ G.H. Hardy


I am a fifth year graduate student in mathematics at the University of Iowa. My thesis advisor is Prof. Charlie Frohman. My research deals primarily with knot homologies and skein modules of three-manifolds. I am currently supported by a VIGRE fellowship, and I’ll be teaching at the U of Iowa’s VIGRE REU this summer. Thanks for visiting my website. Enjoy!
