PhD Mathematics
I'm a mathematician, broadly interested in Calabi-Yau varieties, geometrization of their period domains, and the geometry / arithmetic of Seiberg-Witten theory. Lately, I've also been interested in mirror symmetry and Gromov-Witten invariants, and am also studying how geometric structures that arise on Calabi-Yau moduli spaces are related to integrability of certain nonlinear PDEs. I'm also interested in index theoretic anomalies that arise in quantum field theory, gauge theory, and string theory. I'm currently a VAP at Virginia Tech. I finished my PhD in 2021 at Utah State University with Andreas Malmendier.
I wrote a relatively introductory linear algebra book that emphasizes the geometric perspective. I have run this material several times with college sophomores at USU in 2018-2019 and they did incredibly well. Please feel free to use it.
