I've been teaching at Marywood since Spring 2020. Before that I taught for 5 years at SUNY Binghamton while attending grad school. I am also a proud alumnus of Marywood, having graduated with my B.S. in 2015. My research interests are in Lie Algebras, particularly Affine Kac-Moody Lie Algebras, but I am also interested in applications of Lie Algebras to other areas of mathematics as well as connections between math and music. Outside of academia, I am a musician having seriously studied organ during my undergrad studies. I play professionally but also enjoy making music for fun with my wife and family.
