Teaching and Activities
Math 523: Graduate Topology I (Fall 2023)
Math 121: Calculus I (Fall 2023)
Groups, Actions, and Geometries Conference, a week-long conference with mini-courses and research talks held at Tufts University, August 7-11, 2023. Summer Projects in Mathematics, a program held at the Technion for undergraduates to experience research-level mathematics. I co-led a group in geometric group theory in 2018. Summer@ICERM, a research experience for undergraduates at Brown University. I mentored projects in Summer 2015 on applied topology and dynamics. The Math Circle, a program for young students to work on problems in pure math. I instructed eight ten-week Boston-area Math Circle classes 2012-2015.
