about me: I'm a second year graduate student and teaching assistant in the mathematics department at UW Madison. My mathematical interests are in symplectic geometry and floer theory. My advisor is Yong-Geun Oh. Before my life as a graduate student I spent a year as a foreign exchange student at the Technische Universität Berlin. I wandered around Europe for a bit and learned a bunch of math. I earned my bachelors degree in mathematics and minored in German at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A long time ago I went to the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. There I maintained a list of math jokes and math pick up lines. Among other things I enjoy the color purple, knitting, swimming, speaking german, vegetarian food, and travelling. This year I am helping Nick Addington run the 2009 Graduate Student Conference in Topology and Geometry. I am also running the GPS Toplogy and Geometry Seminar this semester. See my cats do manifolds!
