And a copy of my Ph.D. thesis: L-invariants of low symmetric powers of modular forms and Hida deformations



My Info
Hi. I'm a postdoc here at the Boston University math department. My research interests lie where algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry, and automorphic forms go to hang out. I focus on p-adic aspects of automorphic Galois representations, such as p-adic L-functions, generalized Iwasawa theory, and Hida theory. So far, I've been looking into L-invariants of symmetric powers of modular forms. I did my Ph.D. at Princeton under Wiles and my B.Sc. is from McGill University in their Joint Honours Mathematics and Physics program.

On the non-academic side, I enjoy the usual things in life (music, reading, chillin' with my friends, long walks on the beach and such...). I (used to) usually play quite a bit of soccer, but also enjoy football, squash and hockey (I am Canadian, did I mention that?). De plus, je suis complètement bilingue!
