Here is my CV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s where I’ve been since 2006:<\/p>\n

From 2006 to 2010, I was an undergraduate at Williams College. \u00a0I majored in mathematics, was a member of the Student Math and Statistics Advisory Board, and did lots of theatre<\/a> with Cap & Bells<\/a>. \u00a0In the summer of 2008 I participated in Williams College’s SMALL REU in mathematics (working with Colin Adams on\u00a0knot theory), and in the summer of 2009 I participated in Oregon State University’s mathematics REU (working with Yevgeniy Kovchegov on random walks and Markov chains). \u00a0I did my senior thesis with Professor Steve Miller on modeling convolutions of L-functions, and got to write some very long equations<\/a>.

From 2010 to 2015, I was a graduate student at UC Berkeley. \u00a0I worked with Bernd Sturmfels on tropical geometry and computational algebraic geometry, and was an officer for the Mathematics Graduate Student Association. \u00a0I also took a class in German, which was helpful because…<\/span>\"A<\/p>\n

In Fall\u00a02013, I was based at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics<\/a> in Bonn, Germany. \u00a0I travelled lots, met a ton of great collaborators, saw the world’s tallest cold-water geyser, and ate lots of\u00a0kartoffelpuffer.<\/p>\n

From August 2015 to July 2016, I was a postdoctoral researcher at KTH in Stockholm, Sweden. \u00a0I worked with lots of new collaborators, including Sandra di Rocco and Mats Boij, and got to spend lots of time with my Swedish cousins.<\/p>\n

And since August\u00a02016, I’ve been an assistant professor of mathematics back at at Williams College! \u00a0x^2+y^2=r^2 of life…<\/p>\n
