Summary

I completed my undergraduate studies in mathematics at Valencia Community College and the University of Central Florida, graduating with a Bachelor's of Science in mathematics. I did my Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins with Jack Morava, focusing on algebraic topology and category theory. I then had a three-year postdoctoral position at the University of Washington where I worked with James Zhang followed by a one year postdoctoral position at Georgia Tech before coming to the University of Nevada, Reno.

Research interests

My research is focused on topics in category theory, homotopy theory and algebraic topology. I am especially interested in: higher category theory; operads; chromatic homotopy theory; K-theory; the "field with one element"; cobordism theories; derived noncommutative algebra.
