Research Interest
Dynamics and Number Theory
I am interested in the dynamical systems that come from the various versions of the continued fractions, and the connection between the continued fraction and the geodesics on the hyperbolic spaces. I am also studying arithmetic, statistical, and combinatorial properties related to continued fractions.
