Profile

I joined Grenfell Campus in 2018 after completing my Ph.D. at McMaster University. At Grenfell, my primary focus is as an instructor; in the 2018-19 academic year, I am teaching Math 1000 and 1001 (Calculus I and II).

In my research, I study the relationship between model theory (a sub-discipline of mathematical logic) and algebra. I am particularly interested in valued fields, which are structures with abstracted notions of addition, multiplication, and distance. I am also interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning, and am involved in research considering effective feedback and communication between students and instructors.


Research interests and expertise

  • Relationships between model theory and algebra
  • Model theory of valued fields
  • Effective feedback and communication between students and instructors
