Teaching and Pedagogy
My pedagogical interests revolve around developing discovery-based, active, and inclusive learning environments that effectively engage students from diverse backgrounds and promote constructivist learning with a growth mindset. In my current role, I also advise the Neubauer Phoenix STEM scholars and train math undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants in the pedagogy and practice of collaborative learning.
During academic year 2024-2025, I will be a Pedagogy Fellow at the Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning, and I will be supported by a CCTL Grant to co-lead an Exploratory Teaching Group titled “Discussion on Implementing Alternate Grading and Redesigning Assessment in Math”.
Material from my past courses are accessible through the teaching page. The page also links to my philosophy statements and portfolio.
Research Interests
My background training is in low-dimensional topological dynamics, especially the theory of nonabelian group actions on the circle. I have also contributed to the theory of formal languages, aiming to solve combinatorial group theory problems using topological methods. I am broadly interested in topics related to geometric group theory, complex dynamics, and big mapping class groups.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Chicago under the direction of Prof. Danny Calegari. My papers and preprints are linked on my research page.
