I am originally from New Hampshire and Vermont and have always loved all things outdoors — especially running, mountain biking, and gardening. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Dartmouth College in 2000 with a specialization in number theory. I love thinking about many areas of mathematics and computer science, and I enjoy thinking of ways to make them understandable to everyone. More recently I’ve taken an interest in mathematical modeling and data science, particularly with applications to the environment and human health.
