Education

I earned my Ph.D. in 2014 from Dartmouth College (Advisor: Erik van Erp). 

I attended Macalester College (Saint Paul, MN) as an undergraduate.

I grew up north of Spokane, WA and graduated from Colville High School.

Projects

Conferences/workshops I have organized:

(16-20 June 2025)

): 2-week summer school aimed at first- or second-year graduate Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ interested in operator algebras

(10-14 March 2024): half-size workshop at Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (Germany)

Field of Study

My research interests lie primarily in the branch of known as operator algebras.  In particular, I study the associated to topological groups, directed graphs, and their generalizations. In my PhD thesis, I studied what happens to the K-theory of the C*-algebra as I perturb the multiplication in the group(oid) C*-algebra via a 2-cocycle. Since finishing my PhD, I have also investigated other aspects of the structure of these C*-algebras, such as their representation theory, cohomology, KMS states, and Cartan subalgebras.  There's often a lot of interplay between the structure of the C*-algebra and the structure of the group (or directed graph) you started from; this opens the door to research questions about graphs and groups that can often be tackled by undergraduate Ñý¼§Ö±²¥.  Come talk to me if you'd like to learn more!
