About me
I'm a math professor at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Below are some highlights:
With Bianca Viray, I have a new podcast, Mathing with Dan and Bianca, about how mathematics looks to working mathematicians. Find us on Spotify or on Apple Podcasts, or email us at mathingpodcast@gmail.com.
I star in a NumberPhile video by Brady Haran, about the Josephus Problem.
I was one of 40 mathematicians named an American Mathematics Society Fellow in 2026 (also covered by UH News). I was an Invited Lecturer at the 2024 Joint Mathematics Meetings. My collaborative work is being featured in an Oberwolfach Arbeitsgemeinschaft program and supported by an NSF FRG Grant.
Over the years, I've won multiple teaching awards and research awards. I was also on the Mathical committee, an amazing group that gives out an annual award for children's books that inspire a love of math.
