bio/contact info:

As of July 2019, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah.
E-mail: first DOT last AT utah DOT edu.
Office: JWB 323

From September 2017 to June 2019, I was an NSF Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University. In June 2017, I received my PhD from the University of Chicago, advised by Matt Emerton. In July 2012 I received a joint master's degree from Leiden University and Universite Paris-Sud 11 through the ALGANT integrated masters course.

I work in arithmetic and algebraic geometry, representation theory, and number theory. My CV.

That's me! No, not the ivy, the person in front of the ivy.
