I am a Clinical Assistant Professor who teaches mathematical computer science courses, such as symbolic computation, data structures, and algorithms. In addition, I coordinate undergraduate level mathematical computer science courses in our department and I am responsible, in part, for the the development and expansion of the course curricula. I received a PhD in mathematics, focusing on algorithmic algebraic geometry and the generalization of polyhedral homotopies.
