Prospective Ph.D. students
Research directions, advising style, expectations, and examples of problems students may work on.
People & Mentoring
Research is a shared activity
My approach combines regular one-to-one advising with a broader research community that connects undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and collaborators.
Ph.D. students
Past and current doctoral students, their research areas, and their paths after graduation.
Postdoctoral researchers
Past and current postdocs and the academic and professional paths they have taken.
Undergraduate research
Honors theses, year-round projects, and summer research programs.
Collaborators
A long-running record of collaborations across mathematics, data science, and student research.
Graduate advising essay
Reflections on advising, professional development, and the transition from student to independent researcher.
Advising philosophy
Structure early, independence later
I typically begin with problems that are concrete enough to support steady progress. As students develop, the problems become more open-ended and the student takes increasing responsibility for choosing direction, building collaborations, and presenting the work.
Community
Vertical integration
Research groups are strongest when people at different stages work together. This principle is central to StemForAll, year-round undergraduate projects, and many collaborations that have led to papers and long-term professional relationships.
Current teaching and scheduling
Course pages and meeting schedules change each semester. Current details are collected in the links below rather than mixed into the permanent mentoring overview.
