About

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Middlebury College. Previously, I taught in the Concourse Program at MIT and was a postdoc at UGA. I received my PhD in mathematics from Tufts University, where I was advised by Robert Lemke Oliver, in 2022. Broadly speaking, my interests include number theory and arithmetic statistics.

Research

I am mainly interested in number theory and arithmetic statistics, particularly questions related to elliptic curves, Selmer groups, and counting number fields. I am also interested in prime number races, special values of L-functions, effective estimates, and some related topics in combinatorics.

Teaching

As a starting point for how I think about how to engage with the mathematical community, particularly as an educator, I believe in Federico Ardila's axioms:


In Fall 2026, I am teaching:

Other

In April 2025, Louis Gaudet, Josh Stucky, and I organized a special session on "Counting and Asymptotics in Number Theory" at the Spring Eastern AMS Sectional Meeting.


In December 2023, Jiuya Wang and I hosted a number theory conference, PANTS XXXVII, at UGA.


For many years I organized the Tufts University Directed Reading Program (DRP). As a postdoc, I participated in the Spelman-Morehouse DRP.
