Talking about linking forms in UT's Junior Topology Seminar
    I recently returned from a semester as part of the Knot Concordance and 4-manifolds group of the Junior Hausdorff Trimester Program in Topology at the Hausdorff Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany, where I participated in learning seminars on filtrations of the knot concordance group, trisections, surgery theory, and the disc embedding theorem of Freedman. We also organized a conference on 4-manifolds and knot concordance from October 17-21 2016.

    While at UT I have helped to organize learning seminars in the basics of Heegaard Floer homology (with Andrew Lee) and on applications of Heegaard Floer homology to questions in 4-manifold theory and knot concordance (with Lisa Piccirillo).

Teaching

I am currently the TA for M427L: Advanced Calculus for Applications II. I taught M408K: Differential Calculus in the spring of 2017 as an Assistant Instructor. I have previously TAed for M408C: Differential and Integral Calculus (Fall 2015, SI), M310P: Mathematics for Plan II Students (Spring 2014), and M408K: Differential Calculus (Fall 2013). I have also supervised projects in math education policy, algebraic topology, knot theory, and cryptography with UT's Directed Reading Program and Freshman Research Initiative and have run beginning and end of semester review sessions for the Sanger Learning Center . Last spring I helped organize a four day Mini Math Camp run by SMMG, a major outreach program of the department.
