Assistant Professor
Academic family:
- Bruce C. Berndt — postdoc mentor (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
- Victor H. Moll — phd advisor (Tulane University)
- Jonathan M. Borwein — phd co-advisor (University of Newcastle)
Previously, I was a J. L. Doob Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
From January to December 2013, as well as in March and April of 2015, I visited the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics.
Research interests
Analytic number theory, special functions, symbolic and numerical computation, enumerative combinatorics
More specifically, objects of particular interest include
- Apéry-like numbers and their properties, particularly supercongruences,
- modular forms and arithmetic differential equations,
- hypergeometric functions, multiple polylogarithms and Mahler measure.
