I am a math graduate student in my fifth year, working under Rafe Mazzeo and András Vasy.
I am interested in partial differential equations generally and geometric microlocal analysis more specifically.

• Other application materials.

Papers

• A parametrix for the fundamental solution of the Klein-Gordon equation on asymptotically de Sitter spaces. Also available from the ArXiv. (Last updated: May 5, 2009)
• A Strichartz estimate for de Sitter space. Also available from the ArXiv. (Last updated: September 14, 2009)

Student Geometry and Analysis Seminar

• I am the organizer of the Student Geometric Analysis Seminar in the Stanford Math department.

Student Research Colloquium

• I am a co-organizer (with Eric Malm) of the Student Research Colloquium.

Student Microlocal Analysis Reading Group

• I am also an organizer of the Student Microlocal Analysis Reading group.

Teaching

• I am currently the course assistant for Math 205B, a graduate course in functional analysis.
• In spring 2009, I was the course assistant for Math 205C, a graduate course in harmonic analysis.
• In Winter 2009, I was the teaching assistant for Math 52H, one quarter of the honors calculus sequence at Stanford.
  • Here is a handout about Maxwell's equations.
• In Autumn 2007, I was a teaching assistant for Math 53, a first course in ordinary differential equations.
• I have also been a course assistant for:
  • Math 205B (Winter 2007 and Winter 2008) -- an introductory graduate course in functional analysis.
  • Math 146 (Autumn 2006) -- an undergraduate course in differential topology.
  • Math 121 (Winter 2006) -- an undergraduate course in Galois theory.
  • Math 19 (Autumn 2005) -- a first course in differential calculus.
• On October 21 and 23, 2008, I was a substitute lecturer in Maciej Zworski's scattering theory class at UC Berkeley. I spoke about wavefront sets. (The lecture notes are handwritten.)

Upcoming Talks

• I will speak in February in the Purdue Spectral and Scattering Theory seminar.
• I will speak in February at the Western States Mathematical Physics Meeting at Caltech.
• I will speak on February 23 at MIT.
• I will speak in April at the AMS Sectional Meeting in Albuquerque, NM.
• I will speak in June at the joint AMS-SMM meeting.
• Past talks.

Other

• I own a Thinkpad x60 tablet and have put linux on it. I have also written up an outdated sparse set of useful links for this process.
