Finished PhD in mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2006 under the direction of C. Ward Henson and Yves Raynaud. Joined Salem State in the Fall of 2006.
Interests include continuous logic for metric structures, nonstandard analysis, Banach space geometry, and the interrelationship between mathematics and literature.
Teaching interests span basic and advanced mathematics courses in all areas (with a slight preference for analysis and logic), as well as interdisciplinary and collaborative projects.
Poetry is also a professional interest.
