Welcome to my academic webpage. I am (as of November, 2024) a Golomb Visiting Assistant Professor\({}^\dagger\) in the Department of Mathematics, Purdue University, mentored by Trevor Wooley. From 2018 to 2023, I was a graduate student of Steve Gonek at the University of Rochester. My office is MATH 402 at the West Lafayette campus. Other links: I co-organize the PANTHA seminar at Purdue. In the past, I organized the graduate seminar of the NSF FRG on averages of \(L\)-functions and arithmetic stratification. Please see the seminar webpages for more information. |
(\(\dagger\) - for those unfamiliar with this idiosyncratic nomenclature in American math departments, this is a postdoctoral position)
