Research Interests
My research is in symplectic geometry, group actions and related
combinatorics. Among my interests are: Schubert polynomials and the
intersection properties of Schubert varieties, toric varieties,
equivariant
cohomology, moment maps and symplectic and hyperkähler reduction,
and orbifold cohomology. I
have also become involved in the media's use of statistics and
mathematics.
Feel free to read my papers.
STATS
I am currently Director of Research at Statistical Assessment
Service, or STATS,
a non-profit organization
affiliated with George Mason. Our mission is to improve the public
debate on how science, quantitative, and mathematical issues are
covered in the media. This is in addition to my position
in the
Department of Mathematical Sciences.
Teaching
Spring ('13) I am teaching Math 290 (Introduction to Advanced Mathematics) and Math 629 (Lie Groups). I
have previously taught an assortment of graduate and undergraduate
courses, as well as advised individual and summer projects.
If you're interested in working with me independently, you can ask my students what they think.
You may enjoy my 2012 Convocation speech for entering first year students at Mason.
Family
I have four adorable kids, and a husband that makes it all possible. My other half is
also
a
professor at George Mason (with his own, very outdated, website).
