He received a PhD in mathematics and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests include mathematical logic, dynamical systems, and combinatorics. He also works closely with prospective elementary school teachers and has taught mathematically talented students at the elementary school level (in Illinois and Kentucky), middle school level (in New York), and high school level (in Texas). He is very excited to be working with 7- and 8-year-olds at Epsilon Camp.
