About

I am on the job market in Fall 2025.

I am a Ph.D student in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Boston University.
I completed a B.A. in mathematics and Arabic language at McGill University.
I was a Presidential Scholar from South Dakota.

My work was supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Research

I am interested in algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and representation theory.
Lately, I have been focusing on p-adic harmonic analysis, properties of the local Langlands correspondence, and connections to geometry.

• Excursion functions,
  thesis, in preparation.
• Mod-ℓ gamma factors and a converse theorem for finite general linear groups arXiv:2307.07593,
  with M. Gerbelli-Gauthier, H. Goodson, A. Iyengar, G. Moss, and R. Zhang,
  to appear in Documenta Mathematica.
