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.
