I am a third-year graduate student in the Mathematics Ph.D. program at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my undergraduate degree in MathSSSS and Stats from The University of the Witwatersrand. I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. .
I stole the source code for this website from Shanshan Ding and got a lot of help modifying it from Matthew Wright .
*Research
My research interests are in the areas of probability and combinatorics. My advisor is
Robin Pemantle. I'm trying to find a more specific
topic/research question so I can start trying to write a thesis *gulp*.
.
*Teaching
This semester I'm TAing Math 170 "Ideas in Mathematics" under
David Zywina
My office hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 until 2:30 or by appointment.
(If by appointment please please please show up and show up on time)
I've done some other TAing in Maths courses here at Penn
Math 241 (Calculus 4) in Spring 2009 and Math 104(Calculus 1) in fall 2008. (Why can't they just call
"fall" autumn)
I've also TAed some courses at Wits. Statistics 3 (3rd year statistics for statistics Majors, Janurary 2006
through May 2007) and Statistics 414/511 (Janurary 2006 through May 2006, A course for non-statisticians
that needed to use data in there research).

*Other Activities
Outside of mathematics I've done a fair bit of Powerlifting.
Even being lucky enough to represent South Africa at the 2006
junior and 2008 open world championships (IPF).
