Welcome!
I am an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the math department at the University of Michigan.
Research:
I work primarily in complex analysis, Teichmüller theory, and
complex dynamics (in one and several variables).
Here is my CV, and here are my papers.
Teaching:
I am teaching Math 296 in Winter 2025.
I am a faculty advisor for Math Club, and I help organize Bagel Sundays - stop by!
I am also a faculty advisor for the student group FEMMES - check out all
of the awesome things they are doing!
I also
organize Math Mondays in Ypsi, where
a bunch of us do math with students at Ypsi Community Middle School on
Monday mornings. Our visits to the middle school have been temporarily replaced by virtual Super Saturdays. If you are interested
in joining us, please email me!
Stephen and I organize Michigan Math Circle and Washtenaw and Wayne County Math Teachers'
Circle! Check them out!
Math Corps:
I am proud to be the Director of the Math Corps at U(M), a
summer camp for middle schoolers and high school mentors from
Ypsilanti and Detroit. We faithfully follow the educational and mentoring practices of the Math
Corps, a
phenomenal program that started at
Wayne State University in 1992. (Watch the video or the clip!).
Purchase a Michigan
Math hoodie to help support the Math Corps! Be sure to check in with our hoodie store frequently as we will often change our colors up!
