Currently: I am a Ph.D.
candidate under the supervision of Vinayak Vatsal and Mike
Bennett. Before that, I got my M.A. in mathematics at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Research Interests: My thesis
deals with modular
forms, particularly modular symbols; I am studying special values of
L-functions related to cusp forms and Eisenstein series.
I also have another paper, currently a preprint, entitled A Bound on 7-Torsion Points on Curves of
Genus 2.
Teaching Experience: This term I am teaching a section of MATH 105. Here is the section website.
Last term
I was a workshop TA for MATH 180 and 184 (Differential Calculus).
