About Me
I am a second year PhD student and Teaching assistant, working under Dr.Michael Jury. I hold the position of Treasurer in the Graduate Mathematical Association. In my free time, I like to sing and watch/play cricket.
Areas of Interest/Research
I am interested in the intersection of Functional Analysis and Complex Analysis – studying spaces of Analytic functions using concepts from Operator Theory.
The entry point of this theory was Donald Sarason’s Interpolation Theorem – using Hilbert space methods to solve the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem. Currently I’m studying the realm of Complete Pick spaces – spaces for which the interpolation theorem holds at all matrix levels.
Teaching
I take great interest in the teaching and learning of Mathematics at the higher level. I am especially interested in highly interactive teaching methods such as Flipped classrooms, and methods of introducing students to proofs in Mathematics.
Here is a one slide presentation on the Literature review of the effectiveness of Flipped Classrooms in Calculus courses at the college level.
Here is a rough teaching statement based on the first year of my teaching and my general teaching philosophy.
