Summary
Nate Tausik is a PhD student in pure mathematics at Stony Brook University specializing in birational geometry and symplectic topology, with an MASt from Cambridge and a triple-major BA from UC Berkeley. Over eight years he has blended rigorous research with extensive teaching experience, from lecturing a 350-student CS70 course at Berkeley to serving as primary instructor for graduate math at Stony Brook. He brings computational fluency—C++, ROOT, and Geant4—from research in particle and astrophysics data analysis and simulation, which complements his theoretical training. Comfortable converting abstract concepts into clear classroom materials and exams, he has a track record of mentoring and managing TAs. Colleagues will notice his uncommon cross-disciplinary background spanning pure math, physics, and CS, which informs both his pedagogy and research approach.
