Teaching Statement

I like an interactive atmosphere in the classroom. Learning mathematics involves understanding the underlying logic and the ability to apply what we’ve learned to new situations. I am able to improve as a lecturer provided I am actively involved in helping my students and gaining their constructive feedback.

Research Interests

I am interested in combinatorial game theory, generating infinite series using geometric series and other established series, and combinatorics. Other interests include applications of systems of differential equations in biology and discovering mathematics in music.
