Biography

Western University - Applied Mathematics


Resume

  • 2011

    Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

    In my thesis

    I studied Green's relations on regular algebraic semigroups and reductive algebraic monoids. With the former

    I solved Renner's conjecture on the projectiveness of supports of an irreducible regular algebraic semigroup with zero. Concerning the latter

    I combined Green's relations with the Bruhat decomposition and Adherence order to better understand the Renner-Coxeter monoids and the combinatorial information of reductive monoids.

    Master of Mathematics

    For my Master of Mathematics I wrote an essay on equations and equational theories in the field of model theory. I specifically focused on the work of A. Pillay and G. Srour as they developed equational theories and in particular the notion of equational independence

    which is the notion of independence in model theory

    but specifically formulated for equational theories.

    Tutoring In Residence program

    University of Waterloo

  • I was invited to be an instructional consultant for the TSC at the University of Western Ontario. The position consisted of preparing and delivering two five-ten minute micro-lessons on an introductory mathematical concept. These micro-lessons were recorded and are going to be used as part of an instructional video for new teaching assistants as a guide to 'best practices' in STEM education.

    Assistant Editor

    I read and assess submissions for the 'Contest Corner'. This involves picking out presentable or interesting solutions to the previous month's math questions

    cleaning them up for publication

    and submitting them to the overall editor.

    Guest Lecturer

    The Math Challenge @ Western program is a local mathematics enrichment program that prepares gifted students for mathematics competitions and teaches concepts beyond or ahead of the standard school curriculum. As a guest lecturer

    I have been called upon to guide students through practice contests as well as prepare and deliver more advanced or nontraditional lectures on mathematical topics.
