Student Mentoring
Mentoring undergraduate and highschool students is fun and rewarding. I'm glad to be in a department that values such activities and supports faculty members on this. Recent mentoring activities fall into three categories:
-
Competition training. I find math competitions very fun. It was a big motivation for me to learn deeper mathematics when I was young. I have coached teams for
-
The Lowel Putnam Mathematical Competition. Both at Northeastern University and now at Baruch College. If you are a student at Baruch College interested, see the teaching tab above or send me an email!
-
The International Mathematical Olympiad. I trained the Mexican team for a few years after being a contestant, and even the Canadian team in a Mexico-Canada joint training week before the 50th IMO. Recently, I coached the Panama team.

-
Research mentoring. We have an REU at Baruch College. Click the button for more information on results obtained and plans for future years.
-
Year-round mentoring. Are you a student at Baruch interested in Discrete Geometry and Combinatorics? If you want to know what other opportunities there are for you, send me an email! Some of our students have done directed readings, participated in summer programs, written math honors thesis, and more.

Combinatorial Geometry for Undergraduate Students
These notes contain the contents of the lectures I've given at REUs in recent years. They contain the background necessary for students to start working on open problems in the area (see the list below for resulting papers).
The list below contains papers that I wrote in collaboration with undergraduate students. Papers of students I mentored (but where I am not an author) are not listed here. Those can be found in the REU site.
