I am no longer officially a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania and this page will probably be taken down soon.

Projects, papers and talks

Marked Length Spectrum Rigidity - survey in progress
Morse Theory and the Gauss-Bonnet Formula - my Masters thesis!
Curvature and the Fundamental Group
Volumes of tubes around submanifolds of the sphere - rough draft, or an appendix to my masters thesis
Does curvature determine the metric?

Other projects - my senior theses, translations, presentations, photography,...

Teaching

Summer I 2007: Math 114 (Calculus II)

If you are an undergraduate student interested in Math, you should consider:

Budapest Semesters in Mathematics - an excellent study-abroad program
Carleton/St. Olaf Summer Math Program - a summer program for undergraduate women
The George Washington Univ. Summer Program for Women
Smith College Center for Women in Mathematics
Research Experience for Undergraduates
IAS Program for Women and Mathematics

I'd be happy to tell you more about these programs and help with your applications.

When I'm not doing math...

Here are the Sierra Club "amazons", on the famous Puerto Rico trip, and the Sturdy Girls. There is also the page of a cute physicist.
