I am co-organizing a Summer Graduate Workshop with Pengzi Miao (University of Miami) at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA, July 9-20. The workshop is associated to the Fall 2013 semester-long MSRI program Mathematical General Relativity .
In 2010 I was promoted to Associate Professor of Mathematics, after having been an Assistant Professor at Lafayette College since the fall of 2004. Prior to this, I was a Tamarkin Assistant Professor and an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Brown University in Providence, RI.
I was honored to be chosen as one of the two recipients of the 2010-2011 Thomas Roy and Lura Forest Jones Lecture Award from Lafayette College. A Geometer’s Apology: Confessions of a Wannabe Physicist was the title of my Jones lecture on March 29, 2011.
During the Fall of 2008, I visited the Mittag-Leffler Institute and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm as a Fulbright Scholar. I also participated in the programme “Geometry, Analysis, and General Relativity” at the Mittag-Leffler Institute and the “Geometry and Analysis” conference at KTH. You can read a bit more about it here .
During Summer 2010, I participated in the PRIMA Conference on Geometric Analysis, at PIMS/UBC in Vancouver, along with Farhan Abedin ’11. Read more about it here .
In 2011 I headed to Akko, Israel, for the conference on Complex Analysis and Dynamical Systems V, and then to China for the Beijing Summer Workshop in Mathematical Relativity at Peking University. Former students Farhan Abedin ’11 and Haotian Wu ’07 attended as well.
- L^2 (Lafayette-Lehigh) Geometry-Topology Seminar
The Spring 2012 Lafayette-Lehigh Geometry-Topology Seminar will be held Saturday March 24, in Pardee 217. The confirmed speakers will be Adam Pigott (Bucknell), Radmila Sazdanovic (University of Pennsylvania) and Valentino Tosatti (Columbia).
The Spring 2011 Lafayette-Lehigh Geometry-Topology Seminar was held on Saturday, March 26, in Pardee 217. We were thrilled to have had the following speakers: Bob Gilman (Stevens Institute of Technology), Lan-Hsuan Huang (Columbia University), and Jeff Jauregui (University of Pennsylvania).
- REU
I have led groups in both the 2005 and the 2007 REU at Lafayette. The general topic for my groups has been differential geometry, with an eye toward general relativity. Please see the link below for more information about the Lafayette program.
