Research interests
Broadly speaking, I'm interested in questions at the intersection of number theory and representation theory. I'm especially interested in the (mostly conjectural!) relationships between Galois representations and automorphic forms, and in using techniques from modular forms theory to analyze classically flavored questions in number theory.
Why did you choose Boston College?
Boston College has a brilliant group of number theorists and representation theorists, and Boston is one of the best cities in the world in which to be a math graduate student.
