Spring 2013
I'm spending the semester attending the Buenos Aires Semester in Computability, Complexity and Randomness at the Departamento de Computación, Universidad de Buenos Aires.
Teaching
- [Fall 2012] Math 171: Calculus with Algebra and Trigonometry I (course website)
- [Spring 2012] Math/Stat 431: Introduction to the Theory of Probability (course website)
- [Fall 2011] Math 222: Calculus & Analytic Geometry II (course website)
Research
My research is in computability theory; I am particularly interested in problems that bring to light the nontrivial interaction between computable structure and classical mathematical structure. In pursuit of this interaction, I have done work in Kolmogorov complexity and algorithmic randomness, reverse mathematics, and effective mathematics (primarily computable analysis and topology).
Biography
I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Cornell University in August of 2002 under the direction of Anil Nerode. At the same time, I was awarded a Masters Degree in Computer Science. I took a three year VIGRE Postdoctoral fellowship in the Mathematics Department of Indiana University in Bloomington, although I spent one of those years visiting Rod Downey at Victoria University in Wellington. After three years in a tenure-track position at the University of Connecticut, I moved to the University of Wisconsin—Madison in the Fall of 2008.
