WELCOME!

I am a second-year faculty member in the math department at CSU. I have various research interests, though my work revolves around the numerical solution of polynomial systems. In particular, much of my work so far is in some way related to the field of numerical algebraic geometry (numerical methods for computing quantities and structures from algebraic geometry). Here is a broader (but not complete) list of some areas that interest me:

Some of my work is supported by the National Science Foundation, particularly via grant DMS-0914674.
