My teaching philosophy

I am a firm believer that the best way to motivate students is to leverage their own curiosity to invest them in learning how to solve problems. This manifests in a style of teaching that leverages introducing students to problem first through exploration, then identifying how a topic of study exists to solve those problems. I try to take personal responsibility for the success of students while simultaneously acknowledging that outside factors can determine their progress. To this end, I start every retrospective on student success with: "how could I have done better?" Finally, I trust that by investing into positive relationships with my students (sending emails to check in on absent ones, learning names early, being understanding of their hardships,) I encourage success within the classroom.

My research

My work is specifically in the field of regularity theory for partial differential equations. In particular, with an emphasis on kinetic Fokker-Planck equations that have general transport terms. These equations often arrive when modeling the evolution of some probability density as time moves forward. As a bit of a twist, my work also emphasizes regularity in the event that the differential operator is replaced a by nonlocal one. While differential operators such as the Laplacian are reliant on local behavior to compute some value, nonlocal integrodifferential operators such as the fractional Laplacian reply on the value of the density over the whole space.
