I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan, a Postdoc at the University of Michigan, and a Research Member in the Commutative Algebra program at MSRI. I received my Ph.D. from Cornell University, under the supervision of Allen Knutson.


Teaching

I am teaching ARTSSCI 1D06 (Calculus) in Fall 2023. All course information will be posted to Avenue to Learn.


Research

I work at the intersection of algebraic geometry, combinatorics, and commutative algebra. I am particularly interested in algebro-geometric and combinatorial properties of algebraic varieties which have large groups of symmetries (eg. Schubert varieties, quiver loci). I use computational-algebraic, combinatorial, and positive characteristic techniques (eg. Frobenius splitting) in my work.

I am partially supported by an NSERC Discovery Grant.
