Summary

I’m mathematician currently working as a visiting assistant professor of Computer Science at Boston College. I believe that teaching and learning go hand-in-hand and believe that continuing to pursue knowledge and research myself is key to bringing the right energy to a classroom.

I consider myself antidisciplinary in that I believe that all academics need to make efforts to break out of their niche specializations and look in places they don’t belong in order to collaborate and actually progress the development of human knowledge. Nonetheless, I am a mathematician, and I think like one. I intend to bring that viewpoint wherever my interests take me, which has been economics, sociology, cybernetics, philosophy or history. I intend to pursue a holistic view of human knowledge and to provide a mathematical perspective to topics that normally might not receive such a thing. It is my hope that through this perspective I can bring something valuable wherever my inquiries take me.

Research Interests

• Political economy, democratic economic planning, cybernetics and systems theory Value theory
