About Me

Island life

I still love spending my free time outside/at the beach, and living in the Virgin Islands means the beach is never far away. Here are a couple of favorite views from around the islands.

Green hillsides above a turquoise bay, with small islands offshore under a late-afternoon sky.
Clear turquoise water at a white-sand beach, with sailboats anchored offshore.

Math travels

I still enjoy running, hiking, and canoeing & kayaking, especially around the Big Bend region of Florida (where I lived during grad school). I also love to travel when I get the chance. Here are a few photos from my math travels in grad school and college.

In November 2019, Julia Ream and I traveled to Seattle for the 72nd Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics. We weren't giving talks, so we had some time to explore the city.

In January 2015, I went to Peru for a college class called “Mathematics and Architecture in Ancient Peru.” Left: a llama at Machu Picchu. Right: the class at Sacsayhuamán, a fortress built in the 12th century on a hill overlooking Cusco.
