About Me
Hi! I’m Eddie.
I received my Ph.D. from Purdue University in 2020 under the direction of Bernd Ulrich. My dissertation was On the Defining Ideals of Rees Rings for Determinantal and Pfaffian Ideals of Generic Height.
After receiving my Ph.D., I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Grinnell College for two years, and then served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Colorado College for four years. I have now returned to Purdue University to serve in a clinical faculty role.
I believe that everyone is capable of learning mathematics given the proper resources and that mathematics can be very enjoyable if you interact with it in a way that makes sense for you!
When I’m not thinking about math or teaching, I enjoy exercising and playing video games (though I do not play video games nearly as much as I used to!).
This is a selfie overlooking Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs from the top of the Manitou Incline around sunrise.
I have also recently started making mathematics content on TikTok.
