Teaching Interests
Teaching is one of the most rewarding professional activities for me. I have taught and mentored students around the world at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Currently, I am leading a graduate research project and teaching undergraduate courses in mathematics and statistics.

Research Interests
My interests center around higher structures in differential geometry, including double Lie groupoids, Lie 2-groups, L-infinity algebras, and geometry of moment maps. I consider myself to be a differential geometer with an interest in techniques from category theory and applications to physics.
