I spent five years as a visiting assistant professor of mathematics at Bucknell University. It was a pleasure to work with such wonderful people and to meet and teach such wonderful students.
I spent a year as a visiting assistant professor of mathematics at the State University of New York at Geneseo. It was a pleasure to teach at this selective liberal arts college and to teach a range of courses including Real Analysis, Differential Equations, Introduction to Proof-writing, Calculus I, and Calculus II.
I recently held a postdoctoral position at Louisiana State University where I studied the mathematics of quantum information theory with Mark Wilde and the rest of the Quantum Science and Technology Group. I am interested in how ideas from functional analysis can be applied to problems in quantum information. I am also interested in operator algebras and how ideas from harmonic analysis on groups can be extended to locally compact quantum groups.Before going to Baton Rouge, I was a postdoc in the Mathematics Department of Universidad Complutense de Madrid, working with the Mathematics and Quantum Information research group lead by David Perez Garcia.
I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My thesis advisor was Professor Zhong-Jin Ruan and my thesis title was "Noncommutative L_p-spaces Associated with Locally Compact Quantum Groups". While at UIUC, I had the pleasure of teaching in a variety of formats and was awarded the Math Department's Brahana TA award for exemplary teaching.
