About

I am presently a limited term assistant professor at the University of Georgia working with Jiuya Wang and with the Arithmetic Geometry and Number Theory Group.  Broadly speaking, my interests include number theory and arithmetic statistics. I received my PhD in mathematics from Tufts University where I was supervised by Robert Lemke Oliver.  

I can be reached at mylastname(at)uga(dot)edu. Here is my CV.

NEW: Jiuya Wang and I are organizing PANTS XXXVII, a regional number theory conference, in December 2023 at UGA. 

Research

I am mainly interested in number theory and arithmetic statistics, particularly questions related to elliptic curves, Selmer groups, and counting number fields. I am also interested in prime number races, special values of L-functions, effective estimates, and some related topics in combinatorics.

In preparation. 


I have also worked in computational genomics. The papers and abstracts below are the result of collaboration with Eli Van Allen, David Liu, and others at the Dana-Farber Cancer Insitute. My contributions primarily dealt with applications of non-negative matrix factorization to problems about mutational signatures. Check out related work from the Van Allen Lab. Though this is not my current research focus, I am very interested in revisiting some of these ideas with topological methods. Research from this work can be found at PubMed or on Google Scholar.  Here are the highlights:

Other Stuff

In December 2023, Jiuya Wang and I are hosting a number theory conference, PANTS XXXVII, at UGA. 

For many years I organized the Tufts University Directed Reading Program (DRP). In Fall 2022, I participated in the Spelman-Morehouse DRP. 

From Spring 2019 to Fall 2021, I organized  the Tufts Math Graduate Student Seminar, which is now run by J.C. Wang
