Research

The area of my thesis research was multiple basic hypergeometric series (multiple q-series), a branch of algebraic combinatorics. I am currently working on completing a paper from my thesis. My research deals with extending Ramanujan's mock theta functions to the multiple q-series setting. My current areas of research include Computer Aided Assessment and the use of writing in mathematics instruction.
