9/30/2023: Finally upgraded to the premium version. LeetCode is useful and I wanted to give something back (not to mention the perks). However, I waited for more than a year, to amass enough points for a LeetCode "free" T-shirt. I felt that gathering the points with a paid subscription would be doing it on "easy mode": not worth it. The T-shirt is on its way now (update: it has arrived), hence no reason not to subscribeThis is a list of my publications, last updated January 21st, 2024:

My two junior-year projects at Princeton:
The first was done within the Junior Seminar, run by Professor Ramin Takloo-Bighash and Steve J. Miller.
It investigates some elementary properties of the period of the continued fraction of sqrt n.

The second was done under the supervision of Professor Peter Sarnak.
It provides a computational confirmation of the Taniyama--Shimura conjecture, for non-integer primes in Z[i] of norm up to 45,000.
