Personal:
I am currently in the Ph.D. program in mathematics at ASU. While I have yet to become highly specialized, my strongest mathematical interests lie in algebra and number theory. I also take a very serious interest in the history and philosophy of mathematics and mathematical thought. From the philosophical standpoint, I am most interested in the intimate relationship between abstract mathematical language and the physical world and in our ability to use an abstract language like mathematics to learn about our natural world (specifically, I have examined the role that fractal geometry plays in describing the shapes and patterns of the entire physical universe). Prior to attending ASU, I was an undergraduate student in mathematics at Aurora University in Aurora, IL.
Non-Mathematical Academic Interests:
Vocal Music and Opera
Objectivism (the philosophy of Ayn Rand)
The Japanese Aesthetic
Gender and Violence
