Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Northern Arizona University. Before that, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor and NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at Texas A&M University. I received my Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
