teaching

I am not teaching Fall 2025.

SUMRY

I have mentored a number of undergraduate research projects through Yale’s SUMRY program.

SUMRY 2021

Summer 2021, I led a project on cylinder configurations on translation surfaces with Juliet Aygun, Janet Barkdoll, Jenavie Lorman, and Theodore Sandstrom. You can see our paper here.

SUMRY 2019
SUMRY 2019

I have also co-mentored two projects with Ian Adelstein.

Summer 2019:
Krish Desai, Anthony Ji, and Grace Zdeblick. “Oblivious points on translation surfaces” (paper)

Summer 2018:
Arthur Azvolinsky, Josh Hinman, and Alex Schlesinger. “Minimizing geodesics on doubled polygons” (paper)
