I am a Tamarkin Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Brown. Starting July 2012, my work is also supported by an NSF Mathematical Sciences Research Postdoctoral Fellowship. My research interests grow out of hyperbolic geometry and low-dimensional topology, and center on mapping class groups and methods of geometric group theory.
