There are many reasons, moral and practical, why we need to diversify our mathematics departments — and more generally STEM departments and the workforce. But how do we go about it? A good starting...

This talk was part of the MAA panel at the Joint Math Meetings titled What is a "Math Center" and What Can it do For Your Department?, on Thursday January 11, 2018, 2:35 p.m.-3:55 p.m. You can find my...

This talk was part of a series of 4 talks for a minisymposium on diversity I organized at the SIAM Annual Meeting in July 2017. More details and abstracts for all talks can be found here.

Colloquium talk presented at the University of Arizona Mathematics Department. Abstract is below, slides are attached above. I also led a workshop using case studies, materials from that will not be...

This talk was the first of a minisymposium I organized at the SIAM ED16 Conference (SIAM's Applied Math Education Activity Group's first conference). The minisymposium was titled "Increasing Diversity...

This talk actually consisted of a short diversity training through case studies. Attached slides show two case studies, but we only got through the first one during the actual training (25-30 minutes)...

Talk presented during the "Teaching Linear Algebra with Applications" minisymposium of the SIAM ED16 Conference. In this talk I described having students make a final project for a linear algebra...

I ran a session of the Boston Teachers Math Circle on the topic of averages. We talked about different types of "averages": the arithmetic mean, the mode, the median... We even talked about the...

I ran a session of the Boston Teachers Math Circle on the topic of modeling. The example we looked at was that of choosing the ideal placement of a park, knowing that four towns are sharing the costs...

Abstract. Absorbing layers are sometimes required to be impractically thick to offer an accurate Absorbing Boundary Condition (ABC) for the Helmholtz equation in heterogeneous media. In previous work...
