I researched the Renaissance's impact on Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, a cultural treasure and fascinating historic record dating back to the 10th century.
Mosaics of San Marco in Venice
In Fall 2023, I had the pleasure of taking Dr. Elizabeth Lisot's Italian Renaissance Art History class as an upper-division elective. As a part of the class, we completed original research in a specific area. I chose Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, which is a cultural treasure and fascinating historic record dating back to the 10th century.
In this paper, I had the opportunity to explore the impact of the Renaissance on the mosaics in the basilica, which is an interesting topic, because mosaics are usually seen as a medieval or Byzantine art form, and not as something a Renaissance master like Titian would be concerned with. In fact, the truth is very different!

Foundations of Mathematics in Lean
In Fall 2025, I took Foundations of Mathematics and chose it as my Honors Trackwork course. The Honors College has us complete some additional project of our own design in the two semesters before our final year. I chose to do my first one under Dr. Debbie Koslover.
I asked to formalize some of the assignments from the course in Lean since I'd been playing around with it already, and I think the results are satisfactory. It starts with the basics and ends with a little induction problem. I wanted to do some stuff with uncountability, but ran out of time.
