ACADEMIC INTERESTS
Teaching
I primarily teach lower level math courses (100, 103, 106, 108, 171, 172, 220) with the intent of supporting students no matter their mathematical background.
Research
I am interested in a variety of subjects, including pattern recognition, thin film hydrodynamics, heat transfer, electron microscopy, and the kinematics of fish feeding.
