Jason Meintjes

Jason Meintjes is a recent graduate of the master’s program at San Francisco State University, where he worked on a thesis in moduli spaces under Dr. Emily Clader. Before that, he completed his BA with honors at Williams College, where he had the fortune of participating in the prestigious SMALL research program and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. But his educational journey all really started at Long Beach City College, where he rediscovered education after a long break as a musician and professional photographer.

Jason has a particular interest in all things algebraic and geometric and has researched in continued fractions over non-Euclidean imaginary quadratic fields, topological data analysis, chip-firing games on graphs, tropical geometry, and the moduli space of curves.

Outside of teaching, Jason enjoys rock climbing and running.
