I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of North Texas.
From 2021-2023 I was a Morrey Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley with mentor Richard Borcherds.
From 2020-2021 I was a CRM-ISM Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University with mentors Henri Darmon and Sarah Harrison.
I received my PhD in May 2020 from Emory University, where I was a student of John F. R. Duncan.
My area of research is Number Theory. I am interested in applications of modular generating series and in arithmetic statistics.
My work is partially supported by a gift from the Simons Foundation (Simons TSM) and a grant from the NSF (DMS-2418835).
