About Me: I am currently working as an S.E.W. Assistant Professor at UC San Diego with my mentor, Professor Cristian Popescu. I obtained my Ph.D. from Penn State University in Spring 2025, where I completed my dissertation under the supervision of Professor Mihran Papikian, who guided my research in various areas of number theory and arithmetic and algebraic geometry.

My interests encompass topics such as the arithmetic of elliptic curves, Drinfeld modules, classical and Drinfeld modular varieties, modular forms, automorphic forms, and Diophantine equations. My dissertation, titled The Rational Torsion Subgroups of the Drinfeld Modular Jacobians for Prime Power Levels, was completed under the supervision of Professor Mihran Papikian. It proves a partial result for a generalized Ogg’s conjecture in the prime power case.

Beyond the realm of mathematics, I have strong interests in sports (particularly Badminton), music (proficient in playing the Chinese flute), and cooking, all of which have been lifelong passions of mine.
