About

I am a graduate student in mathematics at Michigan State University. I work on differential geometry, geometric analysis, gauge theory, and PDE's of that nature. Right now I am thinking about equivariant things, like connections that are compatible with some symmetry of underlying space, trying to apply this to the Yang-Mills-Higgs (a.k.a. the coupled Yang-Mills) equations. Tom Parker is my advisor.

To the right you can see a picture of me awake. Most nights I am asleep.

Before this I recieved a B.S. in math and physics from the University of Iowa. Check out the Diffeomorphism & Geometry group (physics) and their use of geometry in theoretical physics.

Non-mathematical things which are important (to me):
meditation,
rationality,
this important thing - Half-assing it with everything you've got,
and the series it's from - Replacing Guilt, by Nate Soares,
Everything is Fertile, by Nick Cammarata.

(Mathematical) Notes

Like many people, I have personal problems which I don't fully understand.
Here are some math notes, some still in progress, of things I do understand:
