Research Experience:

Graduate Research Assistant, University of Houston Dept. of Mathematics (Jan. 2007 - Present)
I am working with Dr. Krešimir Josić on problems in mathematical neuroscience.

Undergraduate Research Assistant, University of Houston Dept. of Mathematics (April - Nov. 2006)
I worked with Dr. Krešimir Josić on stability in linear, non-autonomous differential equations.  We published a paper on our results in SIAM Review.

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Rice University Programming Languages Team (January 2004 - January 2005)
I worked on the MetaOCaml project under Dr. Walid Taha.  I helped to develop a staged interpreter for the Logo programming language using MetaOCaml.  We presented our results at the annual MetaOCaml workshop at OOPSLA '04.


Teaching Experience:

Graduate Teaching Assistant, Univ. of Houston Dept. of Mathematics (Spring 2007 - Present)
Each semester I teach a Calculus recitation section or I grade papers for a junior or senior level course. I also tutor in the department's free tutoring center.

Teaching Assistant, Univ. of Houston Dept. of  Mathematics (Fall 2005)
I was an undergraduate teaching assistant for a Discovery Method Calculus course with Dr. Gordon Johnson.

Tutor, Univ. of Houston Dept. of Mathematics (Spring 2005)
I worked as a tutor for the department's free tutoring center.

Tutor, Kaplan Inc. (August 2001 - January 2005)
I worked as a part-time SAT math tutor for Kaplan Premier, Kaplan's one-on-one tutoring division. I tutored for the math sections of the SAT, SAT II, and GRE tests. I also trained new tutors.
