My Background

Education

• Ph.D.: June 2007 from the Mathematics Department of the University of California, Riverside. My dissertation was entitled "Extended TQFT's And Quantum Gravity" and was completed under the advice and supervision of Dr. John Baez.
• M.Sc.: February 2001 from McGill University, in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. My Masters Thesis was entitled "Existence and Nonexistence Theorems for Solutions of the Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell Equations", and was written under the supervision of Dr. Niky Kamran.
• B.Math: May 1998 from the Math Faculty at the University of Waterloo; double major in departments of Pure Mathematics and Combinatorics and Optimization.
