About me:

I just finished my Ph.D. at University of Michigan under Sasha Barvinok. My interests include combinatorics, probability, discrete convex geometry, and innovative teaching (e.g., IBL). I enjoy giving expository talks to all audiences, and have posted some of my slides here.

When not working, I like to read and write, cook and eat, solve and create^(2,3) puzzles, play and invent games, and sing (but not the opposite of that). My wife Mandy and I used to raise chickens, too.
