Biography:
I received my Bachelors degree from the University of Rochester in 1994 and my doctoral degree from the University of Michigan in 1999, under the supervision of Professor Juha Heinonen.

Research Areas:
My research area is geometric function theory. I am interested in the connection between inequalities in analysis and their geometric implications, and also in quasiconformal maps and the geometric properties of metric measure spaces conserved by them. Just as a geometer cannot distinguish between the flat torus and a torus with non-zero curvature without the aid of a metric on the torus, neither can a metric space analyst distinguish different geometries on the same metric measure space without corresponding differential operators. Such different operators can be constructed for certain metric measure spaces; this is a result due to Cheeger. I am also interested in studying the different geometries on a metric measure space given by different Cheeger differential structures.
