Ph.D. in Mathematics He/him/his

Summary

In 2022, I graduated from the University of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Reno with a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering and a B.S. in Discrete Mathematics. In my undergraduate, I helped create Code12, an application used to aid students learn programming principles, with Dave Parker which was used in Sierra College introductory computer science courses. Under the guidance of Dr. Fred Harris Jr., my team and I created Graph-It, an application used to visualize and compute various graph theory computations for both academics and professionals. Additionally, for several years I worked at the University Math Center as a Shift Leader Tutor where I was able to assist students in a variety of subjects ranging from linear algebra to classical mechanics.

As a graduate student teaching assistant, I have taught several calculus recitations and I have shifted my focus to pure mathematics, particularly higher algebra and higher category theory as well as their applications to other areas of mathematics such as algebra, topology, combinatorics, and logic. I am advised by Dr. Jonathan Beardsley.
