Research/Creative Interests

I research the mathematics of knots and braids. I make Math-Dance videos and performances to communicate my abstract research.

What types of “data” do you commonly use?

The data I mostly work with is in the form of collections of matrices (arrays of numbers or polynomials). The analysis I use would be techniques in linear algebra, for example to look for common eigenvectors shared by the collection of matrices.

What types of collaborations are you open to?

I am interested in collaborating with anyone! I usually work with students majoring in math or computer science. I am always looking for people with experience in video editing and filing to collaborate on Math-Dance projects.

What agencies, organizations, or foundations do you have experience with to apply for grants?

  • NSF
  • Simons Foundation
  • ICERM

    Student Qualifications

    • Anyone who is passionate about mathematics!
    • Anyone who is passionate about STEM communications!
    • Anyone who loves to dance!
    • Anyone who has experience in video filming and editing!
