Research interests: algebraic geometry and algebraic combinatorics. Some of my work involves Schubert calculus, quot schemes, Fulton-MacPherson spaces, the moduli space of curves and its generalizations, quantum cohomology, toric varieties, Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces, equivariant cohomology and GKM spaces, orbifold cohomology and Gromov-Witten theory of stacks, and other aspects of enumerative and combinatorial geometry.

I received my PhD from the University of Chicago in June 2000, under the direction of William Fulton. Before coming to OSU, I was a VIGRE postdoctoral fellow and Ritt assistant professor at Columbia University from 2000 to 2004.

Collaborators: L. Borisov, C. Cadman, T. Braden, A. Gibney, D. Krashen, T. Nevins, G. Smith, F. Sottile, J. Tymoczko.
