About Me:
I am a PhD student at the University of Manchester, England. My research revolves around Diophantine approximation, combinatorics, and automatic sequences. In particular, my work so far has focussed on the Littlewood Conjecture in fields of positive characteristic and its intersections with finite automata and the determinants of Hankel matrices.
