Community Engagement & Service to the Profession
Spectra
I am a co-founder for Spectra: the association for LGBTQ+ mathematicians. We host conferences, panels at the JMM and other national meetings, and social events. We also work to make math more inclusive for LGBTQ+ people, allowing them to bring their whole selves to their mathematical lives.
Trans Inclusive Naming Policies
I am a member of a working group focusing on pushing publishers across disciplines to adopt more trans inclusive naming policies.
American Mathematical Society
Nominating Committee
I serve on the Nominating Committee for the AMS, helping to craft slates of candidates for the AMS positions.
About Me
Job History
I am an Ordway Professor at the University of Minnesota. Prior to my appointment at UMN, I was a Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, a visitor for a year at Harvard, a Whyburn Instructor at UVA, and a graduate student at MIT.
Grants & Outside Funding
Much of my research is generously supported by grants. I current hold a grant from the NSF. Here are links to my grant applications for people interested in what sorts of problems I think about and for people who need models for their own applications.
NSF: Computations in Classical Chromatic Homotopy Theory, Algebraic K-Theory, and Motivic Homotopy
NSF: Computations in Equivariant Homotopy and Algebraic K-Theory
Editorial Positions
I am an editor for La Mathematica, a general interest journal overseen by the Association for Women in Mathematics, and I am excited to see more algebraic topology and homotopy theory represented therein.
I am an editor for Tunisian Journal of Mathematics, a general interest journal. I am excited to see more homotopy theory here too!
