| I have been selected in
2011-2012, in 2013-2014, and 2014-2015 to be a Nifty Fifty
Speaker at a local area high school as part of the U.S.A. Science
and Engineering Festival. |
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
Fall 2014: I am teaching MATH 302 and the Graduate Seminar. 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 website).
