About me

I am a Szegö assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University. My research interests are in Heegaard Floer theory, and more generally, in knot theory and three-manifolds. I was a graduate student at Yale University, and my thesis advisors were Andrew Casson (Yale) and Peter Ozsvath (Columbia).

Papers

The Thurston polytope for four-stranded pretzel links, Algebraic and Geometric Topology 8 (2008).
Constructing Seifert surfaces from n-bridge link projections, arxiv:0801.4800

Teaching

I am teaching Math 171 (real analysis) this quarter. Previously I have taught Math 51 (linear algebra and multivariable calculus) and Math 106 (complex analysis) at Stanford and differential, integral, and multivariable calculus at Yale.

These Tips were written for a calculus course at Yale, but most of the advice applies to Math 51 as well.
