Note: Next year I will be working at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA as an assistant professor.

Research Interests

My research is in algebraic number theory and focuses on special values of zeta functions, multiple zeta functions and L-functions in function fields. In particular, I apply techniques from Drinfeld modules to study these special values. One of the main goals driving my research is to understand the transcendence of and algebraic relations between these special values.

Interdisciplinary Art Grant

In 2019-2020 I worked with UCSD MFA student Grace Grothaus to create a visual represenation of my research in transcendental number theory. Here is a small sample of the completed project, called "Transcendere". Our work was funded by a mini-grant from the Research Communications Program of UCSD Physical Sciences.

Transcendere

You can also see a short video clip showing the effect the iridescent inks give the painting. The painting will be displayed in the AP&M building at UCSD once school returns to normal.
