I am currently a Samelson postdoc at Stanford University. Generally speaking, my research is in contact topology and in symplectic topology.
From 2005 - 2007, I was a postdoc at the Université de Montréal. The very active symplectic group there is headed by Professors François Lalonde and Octav Cornea. While there, I continued studying Hamiltonian systems by means of contact and symplectic topology, but also became interested in questions pertaining to Floer Homology.
I did my Ph.D. at the Courant Institute (at New York University) under the supervision of Professor Helmut Hofer. My dissertation applied several ideas from contact and symplectic geometry to establish results in Hamiltonian dynamical systems.
I did my undergraduate studies (1996-2000) at the University of Waterloo (located in Waterloo, Ontario). I studied both Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics.
For elementary school through high school, I attended Lycée Rochambeau in Bethesda, Maryland (in the greater Washington, DC area).
