About Me

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.
