Education

Ph.D. Mathematics, New York University, September 2008.

Advisor: H. Hofer

Thesis: Intersection Theory in 3-Dimensional Linearized Contact Homology

Hon. B.S. Pure Mathematics, University of Toronto, 2003.

Research

Symplectic and contact topology: particularly J-holomorphic curves and their applications

to dy-

namical systems. I am also interested in analysis and variational calculus.
