about me

I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Union College. Previously, I was a Hans Rademacher Instructor of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. in 2010 from Duke University under the direction of Hubert Bray. Prior to that, I received my bachelor's degree from Harvey Mudd College. Here is my CV.

research

I work in geometric analysis, emphasizing connections with general relativity. Einstein's theory of general relativity describes the universe as a spacetime, which is a four-dimensional continuum containing all points and events, past, present and future. Gravitational effects (for instance, due to a black hole) manifest through the curvature of spacetime, and thus geometry plays an important role in the theory. My research typically involves scalar curvature and explores connections between mass and geometry, including "quasi-local" mass and the total "ADM" mass of a spacetime. My current interests include convergence of sequences of asymptotically flat manifolds, Bartnik's quasi-local mass conjectures, mass in low regularity, and the interaction between scalar curvature and capacity.
