I am currently an Assistant Professor in the McGill University Department of Mathematics and Statistics. My thesis advisor was Akshay Venkatesh. My research interests include number theory, representation theory, and automorphic forms.
Here are my CV and publication list. Here is some information about number theory in Montreal.
