Some of this work (1 & 2) made it into my thesis, which was advised by Alan Reid.

Finally, I had the wonderful oppurtunity to be apart of the SMALL program as an undergraduate and work with Frank Morgan.

Here is a publication that resulted from that project:

Supervised Research


I am currently supervising two PhD students: Birch Bryant and Eric Towers.


(co-supervised with Craig Hodgson) Blake Dadd and Alex Duan, "Constructing infinitely many geometric triangulations of the figure eight knot complement". To appear in Proc. AMS pdf arxiv

(co-supervised with Craig Hodgson) Emma Kong and Curtis Mustgrave-Evans. "Maximal equal area cusp packings of punctured spheres".

Previously, I have supervised two senior honors theses: Joshua Ross and Tucker Feix and one Masters' thesis: Joshua Ross.
