I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at
North Carolina State University.
I
am a member of the Geometry and Topology group at NCSU and the Triangle
Topology group joint with UNC and Duke. My research interests include
low-dimensional topology, Floer theory, gauge theory, symplectic/contact topology, and orderability of groups.
I am working with
Black Box Dance Theater
to explore and teach topology through dance. We have done education, outreach, and
performance.
My work is currently supported by the National Science Foundation and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
I strongly support efforts to increase diversity at NCSU and in mathematics. In particular, I am a participant in the
GLBT Center Advocate Program.
