Welcome to my website A Little Ink!

I’m a mathematician at the Ohio State University. My research interest is on the interplay between the algebraic structure of the Stone–Čech compactification, dynamics, and combinatorics related to Ramsey theory. Connected to this work, I’ve written papers with Vitaly Bergelson, Neil Hindman (my PhD advisor), Joel Moreira, and Florian K. Richter. See my Publications for links to these papers.

My teaching interest is centered around using active learning and inclusive practices to promote and cultivate an environment which imporves students’ abilities to construct, organize, and demonstrate their knowledge of mathematics. Recently, I’ve been working with my colleague Ranthony A.C. Edmonds developing a service-learning course based on Margot Lee Shetterly’s Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race. I’m also currently serving as PI for the Building a Buckeye Calculus Community as part of Ohio State’s participation as a Phase II institution in SEMINAL (Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning).
