Pictures of me with some of my collaborators and other mathematical friends. Hover over a picture for the story behind it.

Collaborators

Peter Zenz, Junehyuk Jung, Steven Creech, and Jeff Hoffstein after Steven's Ph.D. defense Taken after my Ph.D. defense on April 8, 2026. The thesis was “Sums of Hecke Eigenvalues Over Quadratic Polynomials and Mass Equidistribution”. Peter, Junehyuk, and Jeff were my Ph.D. committee. Junehyuk and Jeff were my advisors, and Peter is a coauthor.

Caelan Ritter, Derek Wu, and Steven Creech posing as a boy band We decided to become a boy band: “Maximum Derek and the Boys”. I was one of the boys. Yes, we have other album covers (at least 3 more).
Tropical geometry REU, Summer 2019. From left to right: Caelan Ritter, Derek Wu, and me.
Steven Creech and Henry Twiss in front of a whiteboard This was a candid photo of Henry and I towards the end of our work on our converse theorem paper. I was between this picture and one which was a Halloween costume that was an inside joke.
With Henry Twiss. I am on the left, Henry is on the right, and in the middle is the math on the board.
The project team from Inclusive Paths in Explicit Number Theory This was my research group from the Inclusive Paths in Explicit Number Theory workshop in Summer 2023. This was the same trip where I went to the kangaroo farm in Kelowna, Canada.

Video call with the Rethinking Number Theory project group This is from Rethinking Number Theory, where our group name was the Infinite Ferns. This project became our paper on mod p Iwasawa algebras of pro-p Iwahori subgroups.
Rethinking Number Theory 5, Summer 2024. Top row: Bobby Zixuan Zhang, Karol Koziol, and Steven Creech. Middle row: Nischay Reddy, Bharatha Rankothge, and Rudy Ariaz. Bottom row: Simran Khunger and Bryan Hu.

Big Group Pictures

Brown math department members in tie-dyed shirts This is a subset of Brown's math department after we tie-dyed our shirts. Ella was sad she missed the photo, so I photoshopped her into the corner.
