Curriculum

You can find some of the work I did as part of UH Mānoa’s Ethnomathematics program on Geogebra and Desmos

These lesson materials on the history of the Pythagorean Theorem were developed with support from the NCTM 2018-2019 Professional Development grant

I did a silly video on the difference between surface area vs. volume during emergency learning

 Mathematical

My most recent research project, in collaboration with Dusty Ross and Patrick O’Melveny, focuses on using the geometry of mixed volumes to prove log-concavity of characteristic polynomials of matroids.

You can also find an expanded version of the background and mixed volume sections in my thesis.

I explored hypergraph decompositions and presented on the lambda-fold spectrum problem as part of the Illinois State REU

Some expository writing I’ve done as part of my coursework includes this synthesis of ideas covering space-filling curves , this survey of the connections between SO(3) and SU(2), and this mini-presentation on a topological proof of the infinitude of primes

I was part of the leadership team for the Mathematistas at SF State for the 2021-2022 academic year

I share some of my thoughts about ethnomathematics on the ethnomathematics blog and TODOS podcast
