PhD Candidate in Mathematics

About:

I am currently on the job market for software engineering jobs! I am a PhD graduate from the Department of Mathematics at Boston University. My advisor was Glenn Stevens. I completed my B.A. in mathematics with a minor in computer science at the University of Chicago.

My research was in number theory with an inclination towards algebraic number theory. More specifically, my research touched upon Stark's Conjectures, rigid cocycles, Hilbert's 12th Problem, and the relationship between these topics and Kato's Euler System.

I experimented with ungrading in my classrooms. I successfully implemented an ungrading structure while teaching linear algebra and elementary number theory. I believe that teaching is an exercise in empathy and empowering students with skills that reach beyond the contents of a course.
