My mathematical journey began at Indiana University from which I graduated in 2001. Following this, I came to New York City and obtained my doctorate from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in 2008. I was then a postdoc at the Group of Mathematical Physics of the University of Lisbon in Portugal before coming to York College in the fall of 2010. My main research interests include properties of the heat equation on infinite graphs and spectral graph theory. Since coming to York, I have enjoyed teaching a wide variety of classes and interacting with students at all levels. For more information concerning my research, please follow the link above.
