Mentoring

Student Mentoring

I work with students as research collaborators: we start from a real scientific question, build the mathematics together, and aim for each student to leave with problems and ideas of their own.

Prospective students

My group is currently at full capacity, and I am not taking on new students. The one exception is University of Houston Ph.D. students who have already passed the qualifying exams; if that describes you, please email me.
