Biography

I am the Director of Graduate Studies for the Data Science Initiative at Brown University. I arrived at Brown in 2015 after completing a PhD in mathematics at MIT and served for three years as a Tamarkin Assistant Professor in the department of mathematics. I won the university's Teaching with Technology award and am currently developing online learning resources for data science.

For the past four summers, I have worked with the Office of Minority Education at MIT as a mathematics instructor for their Interphase program, which is designed to prepare and support incoming freshmen.

My research area is mathematical probability: I study random, discrete two-dimensional systems and various continuum objects that emerge as limits of these discrete systems.
