  Academic & Administrative Activities

  • I serve as the PI on the NSF-RTG grant involving multiple personnel across different levels, and as the PI on two more individual NSF grants.
    
    I currently advise or co-advise four postdoctoral fellows, two graduate students, and three undergraduates. 
    
    I am in the process of organizing the semester REU program for several undergraduate students that is a part of the RTG project that will run in Spring 2022, and a summer RTG school for graduate students and postdocs that will run in August 2022.
