Associate Professor of Mathematics at Colgate University: combinatorics and discrete geometry
New paper w/ Katie Bruegge, Ben Braun (@bsquaredmath.bsky.social), and Derek Hanely! It's got polytopes; what more do you need?
Flow polytopes for extensions of bipartite graphs
The space of unit flows on a finite acyclic directed graph is a lattice polytope called the flow polytope of the graph. Given a bipartite graph $G$ with minimum degree at least two, we construct two a...

I was asked to write a book review for the AMS Notices! If you happen to be interested in polytopes and graphs, I highly recommend the (aptly-named) Polytopes and Graphs by Pineda Villavicencio. I'm almost certainly going to use it myself the next time I teach a class on polytopes.

Again, a decade from now "AI skills" will be a commodity, & the scarce resource in the labor market will (once again) be individuals who can think, write, analyze, & communicate, as it has been forever and always. And we'll still be fighting tired, age-old battles defending the liberal arts.

It's currently unknown whether pi contains every possible finite string of numbers, but is it known whether pi contains every possible three-number string?
