Research Interests
In general, my research interests are in Discrete Mathematics, specifically Graph Theory, Combinatorics,
and applications to Combinatorial Matrix Theory. Most of my current research is in rainbow (anti-Ramsey) problems
and zero forcing problems. I am also interested in the related Turán,
Ramsey, and domination theory.
While not my main areas of research, I also have an affinty for problems in probabilistic and
combinatorial game theory, as well as combinatorial problems in algebra and number theory.
I also have recently started to take on projects in math education. I have mostly been
involved in projects that revolve about equity, inclusion, and race
in mathematics culture and classrooms.
