Research Interests
Low-dimensional geometry and topology
I am interested in the geometry and topology of three-dimensional manifolds
and the related geometric group theory. In particular, I study automatic
structures for the fundamental groups of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and their
relation to the geometry of the manifold via Patterson-Sullivan measures
on the limit set of the manifold.
Mathematics education
I am interested in all aspects of teaching college mathematics, including the
quality of instruction in introductory courses, teaching
elementary and secondary teachers, training and mentorship of graduate
teaching assistants, and recruitment programs for undergraduate
majors and graduate students.
Previous employment
From 1998 to 2007 I was Assistant Professor and Lecturer of Mathematics at the University of Michigan.
