I am an
assistant
professor
of mathematics at Hope
College. This fall I'm teaching Calculus 1 and Algebra.
In addition to teaching I enjoy working on our departmental newsletter Off on
a Tangent. My research interests are in algebraic topology
and
algebra. The past few summers
I mentored students in the Hope
College mathematics REU program, and in addition to doing some
really interesting math, my students and I had a great time! This
past summer my students, Sarah Cobb from Wheaton College in Illinois
and Josh Kinder from Hope, and I developed a method for determining all
the irreducible representations of wreath products of cyclic groups by
using necklaces and their symmetries. Besides mathematics, I
enjoy music, hiking, reading
and sports,
especially baseball. |
