In August 2011 after 6 formative years in grad school I completed my PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley. I worked with advisors Federico Ardila and Matthias Beck on polyhedral geometry. I like looking at matroid polytopes, Minkowski sums and differences, and Ehrhart theory. I also love to teach.

Teaching:

Spring 2011: Math 300, designed, taught, and videotaped by me.

Fall 2010: Math 300 with professor Ken Ribet. I was the videographer for the class, which teaches new math TAs how to be good TAs.

Spring 2010: Math 300, designed, taught, and videotaped by me.

Fall 2009: Math 300 with professor Ken Ribet.

Spring 2009: Math 16B for professor Thomas Scanlon. The course was run off of bspace, so I didn't keeping a webpage for it.

Fall 2008: Math 16A with T.Y. Lam

Summer 2008: Math 54 designed and taught by yours truly.

Spring 2008: Math 1A with Jon Wilkening.

Fall 2007: Math 16B with Jack Silver.

Summer 2007: Math 55 designed and taught by me.

Spring 2007: Math 55 with Paul Vojta.

Fall 2006: Math 54 with Ming Gu.

Spring 2006: Math 54 with Jack Wagoner.

Fall 2005: Math 1B with Nicolai Reshetikhin.

Math:
My dissertation is titled Geometry of Generalized Permutohedra. Give it a glance, if for nothing else than to see some lovely color illustrations of polytopes.

I've got one accepted paper out so far, called Matroid Polytopes and their Volumes, coauthored with with Federico Ardila and Carolina Benedetti. It appeared in Discrete and Computational Geometry in 2010.

In January of 2007 I somehow managed to pass the prelim exam, due in no small part to these lecture notes. I don't know where they came from, and I'm not sure if anybody else has them but me. So please share them with your prelim-prepping pals.
