I am a Professor of Mathematics and the Divisional Dean of Natural Sciences in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Washington. My mathematics research has focused on geometric analysis and mathematical general relativity #GR. As divisional dean I work to support faculty, staff and students in the mathematical sciences (#Math, #AppliedMath, #Statistics), the physical sciences (#Physics, #Astronomy, #Chemistry) and the life sciences (#Biology, #Psychology and Speech and Hearing Sciences) at #UW.
Doing everything that I can to improve the environment for our fantastic faculty, dedicated staff and amazing students. I try to both champion and nourish the tremendously impactful research that our faculty lead in the natural sciences, often in collaboration with our colleagues in engineering, environment, public health, and medicine. Working to improve #equity and #inclusion in #STEM is a front-line priority for me.
Outside of the academic realm, I am a student and erstwhile teacher of #Aikido at Two Cranes Aikido, where I have amazing teachers and friends to practice with. I hold the rank of Sandan and I’m at the dojo far too infrequently these days. #ukemi #hugs
