Hi! Welcome to my site!

I am an Associate Teaching Professor at Florida International University.

I have completed my Masters degree in August 2010 under the direction of Elisabeth Werner, and my PhD degree in August 2014 under the direction of Elisabeth Werner and Stanislaw Szarek at Case Western Reserve University.

My research interest is convex geometric analysis. I work on information-theoretic inequalities for functions (mainly log-concave) and their relations with inequalities involving convex bodies from convex geometry.

I also work on transforming the way lower-level math courses are taught and to improve student retention and success by using active learning techniques, emphasizing critical thinking, and using technology. I am also involved in redesigning many math courses to improve the teaching and learning experience at FIU. I have been serving as Hybrid Faculty Fellow since 2021 and helping to train faculty from various disciplines to design evidence-based hybrid classes.

I have been serving as a senator at the Faculty Senate since Fall 2021 as well.
