I am currently an Arnold Ross Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at The Ohio State University. I earned my Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of David Harbater. Before the University of Pennsylvania, I was an undergraduate at the Pennsylvania State University and a member of the Millennium Scholars Program. I am interested in algebraic number theory and algebraic and arithmetic geometry, particularly quadratic forms, local-global principles, and algebraic groups.

I firmly believe Federico Ardila's basic axioms:

Axiom 1. Mathematical talent is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.

Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.

Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to service their needs.

Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
