I am a visiting professor in the mathematics department at Batten University, and I seek to help people understand mathematics better. I use alternative grading in courses like Calculus 1 and Introduction to Proofs to empower students to set and meet their own learning goals. In my research, I'm interested in a variety of topics related to algebraic groups, such as abstract homomorphisms and automating computations in Python.
