Mathematician, teacher, researcher, and creator of mathematics learning resources.
Welcome. I am a mathematician whose work spans teaching, research, and mathematical communication. My research interests include dynamical systems, celestial mechanics, and gravitational waves from black holes, with particular attention to the mathematical structures underlying complex physical phenomena.
I earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota in 2022 under the guidance of Rick Moeckel. My dissertation, Relative Equilibria of Dumbbells Orbiting in a Planar Newtonian Gravitational System , reflects my longstanding interest in orbital mechanics and nonlinear dynamics.
