Mathematics

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in Jennifer Balakrishnan’s group at Boston University. My research is funded by the Simons Foundation.

I work in Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry, with a computational approach. Most of my research projects have included at least one of Sage, Magma, and PARI/GP, and some have used all three.

I also contribute to development of the L-functions and modular forms database.
