I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at University of Massachusetts Boston. After receiving my Ph.D. in Mathematics from MIT in 2000, I was a J.W. Gibbs Instructor at Yale (2000-2003) and an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Penn State Altoona (2003-2006).

My research interests lie in combinatorics and differential geometry, with a special emphasis on symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian group actions. I am especially interested in combinatorial aspects of equivariant cohomology and K-theory.

Over the last years I taught a variety of courses, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Mathematics for Economists, Probability, Vector Calculus, and Differential Geometry. I have also supervised Independent Studies in Geometry, Topology, Probability, Mathematical Finance (in preparation for the Actuarial Examinations). I am interested in innovative approaches to teaching, inquiry-based learning, and the use technology in improving the effectiveness of teaching.

In Spring 2013 I am on a sabbatical leave, visiting the Mathematics Department at MIT.
