I am an RTG Assistant Professor in mathematics at the University of Michigan. I work in algebraic geometry. My current work focuses on abelian varieties, compactified Jacobians, moduli of sheaves, and related topics. My notes (located under "Writing") provide a reasonable overview of my mathematical interests.

During college, I worked at the Ross Mathematics Program at the Ohio State University for several summers. The program is an eight week long residential program for high school students. I highly recommend the program! It is an excellent experience for talented students interested in mathematics.

Job Application

I am applying for jobs this year. My application materials are below:

Teaching

I am currently teaching Math 590. The course website can be found on cTools.

Are you thinking of asking me for a letter of recommendation? Check out these pages for guidelines to making a request: Conrad, Pollack, Roby.

Previously at Michigan I taught Math 115, 116, 316, 425, and 731 (Topics on Riemann Surfaces). As a graduate student, I had the honor of being a course assistant for the 7th most ridiculous-sounding math class offered at a liberal-arts college. The movie trailer for the class can be found here.
