The Memorial Union Terrace at UW-Madison, overlooking Lake Mendota. A beautiful place to sit by the water and listen to live music.

Combinatory logic and the Lambda calculus. Taught by Jan Reimann.MATH 574 - Model Theory. Basic results, quantifier elimination, Fraisse limits of random graphs and dense linear orders, graphons, Morley’s categoricity theorem, O-minimality, forking and independence. Taught by Jan Reimann.
Slides on System F from a talk given to the Graduate Student seminar. In 2017 I graduated from the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State with a Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics and in Electrical Engineering. My undergraduate thesis can be found here: A Recursive Presentation of the Graphon Space. The thesis was advised by Jan Reimann, who I am very much indebted to for all his support.
As an undergraduate I was heavily involved with the Penn State Wind research program and the Collegiate Wind Competition, sponsored by the Department of Energy. My capstone design project was a voltage-sourced rectifier to convert the AC output of a wind turbine's generator to the DC needed for a power supply. I also served briefly as the administrative lead on the Penn State Racing Formula SAE team, which builds a Formula One racecar from scratch every year and races it against other collegiate teams at the Michigan International Speedway.
Fall 2017 - TA'ing for two sections of MATH 221, Calculus 1 for scientists and engineers.
In 2015, I spent a summer at Moody's Analytics in NYC. There, I worked for the lead in-house data scientist, Vladimir Agajanov. I supported his research by writing R and Python scripts to analyze company network data to draw conclusions about the capacity and redundancy of the network, and designing browser-based visualization tools for graph data presentations. Under his direction I studied the application of machine-learning methods to fixed-income and capital markets data for the Capital Markets Research Group.
