Mentoring

I mentor undergraduate students who aim to build a rigorous foundation in applied mathematics. I like to emphasize developing mathematical maturity early and cultivating the independence needed to engage seriously with theory and research. I work with students to align their academic development with long-term goals in graduate study or technically demanding quantitative careers across physics, computer science, mathematics, biology, and finance.
