Books
Advanced Calculus DeMYSTiFieD
An accessible introduction to advanced calculus topics, aimed at helping students bridge the gap between computational and theoretical work.
A Geometric Approach to Differential Forms
A visually motivated treatment of differential forms with an emphasis on geometry and intuition.
Mathematical Art
In addition to my work in mathematics and computer science, I create sculpture and digital artwork inspired by geometry, topology, and visualization. Many pieces explore curvature, minimal surfaces, knots, and geometric flows, using a mix of computational design tools and physical media.
My goal is to make abstract mathematical ideas tangible — to bridge visualization, intuition, and physical form. This artistic practice also informs how I approach teaching and explaining mathematics.
