TEACHING SUMMARY

I have taught Mathematics courses from pre-calculus level through doctoral-level courses, including our seminar on mathematics teaching for several years. My current teaching specializes in junior and senior level courses for math majors and early graduate students, including Introduction to Analysis and my course Groups and Representations. I have mentored research students from Freshmen Research Scholars through research done by students for Seniors Honors Theses, Masters' Reports and Theses, and Doctoral Dissertations.
