About Me

I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Otago. Previously I was an Assistant Professor (RTPC) in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Southern California. I received my Ph.D in 2015 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, under the direction of Alexander Yong.

Research

My current research interests broadly involve the rich interplay between algebra, geometry and combinatorics, with a particular focus on questions of positivity in algebraic combinatorics.
