My research sits at the intersection of statistics, geometry, and topology.

Programming languages: I prefer Python (notebooks), TensorFlow, and MATLAB, but also have experience with C++, Java, and HTML/CSS. In addition, I am familiar with Mathematica, LaTeX, and Magma. I also enjoy making mathematical figures in Adobe Illustrator — for example, those on this page!

Teaching experience: I was a teaching fellow ENGSCI 150 (Introduction to Probability for Engineers) at Harvard in Spring of 2015. I am honored to have received a Certificate of Excellence in Teaching, based on student evaluations.
