Welcome to my website! I am an associate professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. I do research in mathematics, teach math courses, serve on various math-related committees, referee math research articles and I organize conferences (see MAMLS at VCU, Idealfest, Stationary sets in algebra).

My main line of research is in set theory and involves large cardinals. I've done work on combinatorial principles and forcing constructions related to the large cardinal properties of Ramseyness, ineffability and indescribability. I've also worked on strong properties of successor cardinals that hold after collapsing large cardinals and on preserving large cardinals through Easton-support forcing iterations.

I also have an emerging interest in problems involving graph theory, finite combinatorics, discrete optimization and connections with music via maximal evenness.
