About Me/Contact Information

 I have recently finished my Ph.D. at Emory University, working under the supervision of Ken Ono. I have accepted an NSF Postdoc to work with Kannan Soundararajan at Stanford and will be moving there in August. This past summer, I led a project in the Emory REU in number theory, and I will be doing so again in this coming summer. I also organized the Emory student algebra and number theory seminar.
