 Hello, I'm Professor FitzKessler. I'm one of the faculty here who teach a variety of courses to the NJS program. I also teach resident courses to the geography department. My focus of course topics is with cartography and spatial statistics. I started in mathematics at my undergraduate but slowly gravitated towards geography, specifically cartography because I saw an interconnection between math and cartography. In fact, one of the cartography topics, map projections, is inherently mathematical and is one of my research interests. So when I'm not teaching cartography or doing research, I play banjo. I play a lot of bluegrass festivals and bands. I also play mandolin and guitar. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at some point in one of my courses. If you have interest to reach out to me, I'd be most welcome to hear from you. Thank you.
