Directed Reading Program:

I am proud to have founded the Rutgers Directed Reading Program in Mathematics. Some of my mentees include Chris Skalit (who went on to earn his PhD from the University of Chicago and is now a postdoc at UIC), Charles Siegel (who went on to earn his PhD in algebraic geometry at UPenn and is now a postdoc at University of Tokyo), Aaron Samkoff, and Jordan Ledvina. I am also a faculty advisor for the Queen's Directed Reading Program in Mathematics.
