FALL 2020

Math 1260, Complex Analysis

The course will be taught remotely, with recorded mini-lectures and ample office hours (at times to be arranged).

The text will be Gamelin's Complex Analysis.



RESEARCH INTERESTS

Topology of Manifolds
Abstract Homotopy Theory
Algebraic K-theory



DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

I strongly believe in making the mathematics community open and inclusive for racial, gender, and sexual minorities that have been underrepresented. I have chaired the department's diversity and inclusion committee since its creation in 2017, and I also help organize the Horizons seminar.

Here is something I wrote.
