CV (Last updated: June 2024)

I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at University of Kentucky. Before joining UK in 2017, I had s postdoctoral position at University of Oxford, supported by a Glasstone Research Fellowship. I received my PhD in 2014 from Stanford University under the supervision of Kannan Soundararajan.

My research interests are in analytic number theory and arithmetic combinatorics. I'm interested in various questions concerning character and exponential sums, sieve theory, smooth numbers, Szemeredi's theorem, additive problems in primes, structures in sumsets, the theory of Gowers norms and nilsequences, etc.
