Research

I'm interested in geometric group theory. My thesis research is on the Lp metrics on Teichmüller space.

I am also involved in collaborations working on questions about Big Mapping Class Groups and and an analog of Out(F_n) for infinite, locally finite graphs.

I'm currently supported on the NSF Research and Training Grant: Algebra, Geometry, and Topology at the University of Utah #1840190.

While a master's student at Miami University I thought about Thompson's groups a lot, specifically the conjecture that Thompson's Group V is a universal coCF group. While advising a group of REU students as part of SUMSRI we proposed a potential counterexample to this conjecture: arXiv

Teaching

In Spring 2021 I will be teaching Math 2210-006, Calc III. We will be using Canvas.
