Introduction

I am currently an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Wofford College. I earned my PhD in Mathematics from the University of Toronto in 2011 where my advisor was James Colliander. My graduate research was focused on the stability of solitons for generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations.

Upon earning my PhD I moved to Wake Forest University where I was a Teacher-Scholar Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics. My research mentor there was Sarah Raynor.

In Spring 2022 I was on sabbatical and had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth Campolongo and Hardik Routray (Rutgers University) as part of the QuForce Innovation Fellowship. We worked on a problem that has to do with using phase-covariant cloning to eavesdrop on the BB84 protocol. Hardik produced an online demonstration of how such an attack might work; BB84 protocol with asymmetric cloning. Our work was presented as part of the QuForce Demo Day on August 8, 2022.
