I am a third-year graduate student in Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. My mathematical interests are in combinatorics and probability.

Teaching:

• Current: Math 170, Spring 2008 (recitations for Leila Schneps)
• Math 114, Fall 2007 (recitations for Robin Pemantle)
• Math 114, Spring 2007 (recitations for Ludmil Katzarkov)
• Math 104, Fall 2006 (recitations for Todd Drumm)
• Math 104, Summer 2006 session II (sole instructor)

Coursework:

In the Spring 2008 term I am taking:

• Math 581, Topics in Combinatorics, taught by Marko Petkovsek.
• Math 530, Mathematics of Finance, taught by Jonathan Block.
• CIS 502, Analysis of Algorithms, taught by Sudipto Guha.

In the Fall 2007 term I took:

• Math 750, Topics in Functional Analysis (random point processes), taught by Grigory Olshankiy.
• Math 618, Algebraic Topology, taught by Jonathan Block.
• Stat 900, Probability Inequalities and Machine Learning, taught by J. Michael Steele.

In the Spring 2007 term I took:

• Math 547, Stochastic Processes, taught by Robin Pemantle
• Math 581, Probabilstic Methods in Combinatorics, taught by David Galvin
• Math 601, Algebraic Topology, taught by Herman Gluck.

I do research in combinatorics and probability. I attend the Combinatorics and Probability Seminar.

In the summer of 2007 I worked in the quantum random walks research group organized by Robin Pemantle.

I keep a mathematical blog called God Plays Dice.
