Current Teaching	Calculus I – MATH 140 – Winter 2013 Click here for the course webpage.
Research Interests	My research interests lie primarily in the calculus of variations and partial differential equations, with a focus on problems arising from materials science which have a geometric flavor. In particular, I am interested in the analysis of variational problems which result in energy-driven pattern formations.
