I have served twice as a mentor for UO's Directed Reading Program, guiding undergraduate math majors in readings on conics in the projective plane in 2021 (using Miles Reid's Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry) and on elliptic curves in 2022 (using Silverman's The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves). If you are interested in the DRP, you can find more information here; if you would like to suggest a topic in algebraic geometry or number theory to work on with me in 2023, please send me an email!

I have at various times organized the student algebraic geometry seminar at UO (called Ring^op). The seminar is currently run jointly with the student number theory seminar by Greg Knapp. The UO Math Department seminar schedule is available here.

Besides doing math, I garden, keep chickens and honeybees, and am an amateur naturalist. You can view some of my wildlife observations here on iNaturalist. For information about native plants in Oregon, I recommend OregonFlora, which includes maps of OSU Herbarium records and descriptions from both Flora of Oregon and Flora of North America. To find hikes in Oregon with high levels of plant biodiversity, take a look at Tanya Harvey's blog and Adam Schneider's bloom status map.

Pictured at left is Cypripedium californicum, an endangered orchid that I saw while hiking in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness in 2021.
