About Me
My primary focus is on mathematics, both on pursuing my personal research questions as well as helping students work towards familiarity with mathematical thought. While my research work is in coding theory, I enjoy almost all areas of mathematics, and appreciate hearing about domains of knowledge that I have no prior exposure to. I also spend my time reading books that make you think, primarily the major works in philosophy, with the goal of reading all the major 20th century texts on phenomenology and existentialism.
