Objectives and Interests

I intend to pursue an academic research career in the field of mathematics studying (algebraic and geometric) topology. I intend to be an active contributor to the mathematics and scientific research communities.

Education

Doctor of Philosophy, Mathematics, from SUNY University at Albany, Expected May 2019
​GPA: 3.9
Advisor: Boris Goldfarb
​Dissertation: Coarse Geometric Coherence Notions
This dissertation relates coarse geometry and algebraic K-theory in topology/geometry. It investigates asymptotic dimension, decomposition complexity, Property A, coarse embeddability, and generalizations of coherence, with the goal of determining sufficient conditions to satisfy the Borel conjecture.

Master of Arts, Mathematics, from SUNY University at Albany, Received May 2016
GPA: 3.943

Bachelor of Science, Mathematics (Pure Mathematics Concentration), from Fordham University, Received May, 2014
GPA: Overall 3.571, Math 3.627

Publications

2018 B. Goldfarb, J. Grossman, ``Coarse coherence of metric spaces and groups and its permanence properties." Bull.  Aust. Math. Soc., 1-12. doi:10.1017/S0004972718000977

​Awards

Extended Year Funding -- Fall 2018 - Spring 2019

I was awarded tuition remission and a $18,590 stipend by the University at Albany to facilitate research and
progress toward the doctorate.

Summer Research Grant at University at Albany -- Summer 2015 & Summer 2016

I was awarded a grant of $3,000, renewable for two years, to fund my continued participation and study of mathematics at the University at Albany during summer intersessions.

Science Honors Society [Sigma Xi] -- Spring 2014 - Present

I was inducted into the science honors society out of recognition for my outstanding academic achievements, both within my mathematics program and overall as a Fordham University student.

Mathematics Honors Society [Pi Mu Epsilon] -- Spring 2013 - Present

I was inducted into the mathematics honors society out of recognition for my outstanding academic achievements, both within my mathematics program and overall as a Fordham University student.
