Research:
My research has been on three main topics: integer complexity, Artin representations and perfect numbers. More broadly, my research has focused on combinatorial aspects of analytic and algebraic number theory.

Teaching:
I currently teach at the Hopkins School in New Haven, CT. This year I'm teaching pre-calculus. I'm also teaching the senior seminar which is focusing on number theory.
Other items:
Here is a very short (4 minutes) talk on some of my research on integer complexity. This video is intended for a general audience.
Here is a 20 minute, slightly more technical version of that material which was a pre-recorded talk for the Connecticut Summer School in Number Theory
Me being interviewed on Dan Rubin's math focused Youtube channel.
