Research Interests
My main interest resides in
theoretical cosmology, which motivates my exploration in differential
geometry. In
recent times, I have found myself interested in the invariant theory of
Killing tensors and its application to studying certain
classes of
Hamiltonian systems.
My former
research experiences can be found in my CV.
M.Sc. thesis

Teaching
Fall/Winter 2012/2013:
I'm the TA administrator for the Department of Mathematics and Statistics
this year. Part of this responsibility includes staffing
TA's in our lovely tutoring centre: the Learning Centre. I also
manage the blackboard webpages and online assignments for our intro to calculus courses.

About
I
grew up in Redlands (California) and received my BSc. in Physics and BA
in Mathematics from California State
University, Fullerton. I spent a year at University of Toronto in the Dept of Astronomy and
Astrophysics before
settling in at Dal.
