I am a Ph.D. Candidate at The Univeristy of Maryland. My advisor is William Goldman.
Research Interests: Projective & Hyperbolic Structures on Manifolds, Convex Domains, Computational Geometry & Geometric Visualization
I work in the Experimental Geometry Lab
I am helping to organize the D.C. Math Graduate Student Meeting 2009 at George Washington University
Math Projects:
- My thesis is on Triangle Groups in Sp(4,R)
- A short presentation I gave at Sage Days 9 about Geometric Structures on Surfaces
- Shadow Problems in Spherical and Hyperbolic Geometry
- Stallings Graph Foldings
- The Mathematica Code: GraphFoldings.nb.
- Relies upon FreeGroupAutos.m and FreeGroupAutos.nb
- Octagon Deformations: Projective structures on a Genus 2 Surface.
- A Twist Deformation
- A prettier version of these pictures appeared in Notices with an article by William Goldman titled What is...a Projective Structure?
- My Scholarly Paper for my M.A. on Affine Automorphisms of Propely Convex Domains
Projects in progress:
- The Boundary of the BiDisk (work in progress)
- Level Sets of Cubic Surfaces
- A demo illustrating lines on a cubic surface
- Another cubic
