My professional interests are guided by the Einstein quote “Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” I enjoy the beauty of reason and rational thought, whether expressed through words or mathematics. My teaching style is both energetic and encouraging. I try to create a classroom atmosphere that is both inviting and yet invigorating.
