I'm interested in geometry, low dimensional topology, and geometric group theory. Specifically, I am studying the Lp metrics on Teichmüller space. I gave a short talk on my work at the Redbud Topology conference in Spring of 2021, the video of the talk is here. I am also working on questions about Big Mapping Class Groups ( arXiv ), and and an analog of Out(F_n) for infinite, locally finite graphs ( pdf ).
My current coauthors and collaborators are Carolyn R. Abbot , George Domat, Sanghoon Kwak, Marissa Loving, Priyam Patel, and Rachel Skipper. In Fall 2020 I was 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: arXivI am teaching Math 1320, Engineering Calculus II in Spring 2022 as well as Math 13, a bridge course for students moving from Calculs I to Engineering Calculus II. We will be using Canvas for each.
In Spring 2021 I taught Math 2210-006, Calc III. We used standards based grading.
