Research Interests

Research: My main area of interest is knot theory. My current research has ties between the areas of topology and geometry, while some of my past research involves abstract algebra.

Research with undergraduate students: I have mentored an undergraduate engineering student in applications of ordinary differential equations. In particular, we discovered how ordinary differential equations can model electrical circuits involved in AM radios.
