I am in my third year with the University of Iowa. I study question relating geometric group actions and combinatorics. While a VIGRE trainee I look forward to spending extra time writing papers, preparing for my comprehensive exam and organizing graduate student seminars. Last year I co-organized a seminar on Lie Algebras and this year I am starting a graduate student Algebra seminar. I come to Iowa last from the University of Vermont where I received my masters studying finite group representation theory. In my free time I enjoy cooking with my wife, baking bread and home-brewing.
