RESEARCH INTERESTS
I study a branch of mathematics called ergodic theory. Ergodic theory seeks to understand the long term behavior of a dynamical system, such as a closed physical system by using a tool from abstract mathematics called a measure. I am particularly interested in work connected to point masses traveling in polygons and differentiable flows on surfaces.
