U.S. Naval Academy

 

Research interests:  Algebraic geometry, error-correcting codes, supersymmetric string theory.

 

I just got back from the Program for Women in Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study.  I gave a series of lectures based on this paper:

Bashelor, Andrew, Amy Ksir, and Will Traves, “Enumerative Algebraic Geometry:  Counting Conics.” To appear in the American Mathematical Monthly.
