My cv.

I am Associate Professor of Mathematics at Stony Brook University. My research interests are in probability and analytic number theory. Previously I have been a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and at the Mathematical Institute, Oxford and DPMMS, Cambridge. I completed my PhD in Mathematics at Stanford University in 2012. My graduate research was sponsored by a Ric Weiland Graduate Research Fellowship. I have also completed a masters degree in computer science at Stanford, with an emphasis in algorithms. As an undergraduate, I won Stanford's J.E. Wallace Sterling Award for scholastic achievement, and a Boothe Prize for excellence in writing. I was a member of Stanford's Putnam team for three years and scored a perfect score on AMC12. I help Sasha Kirillov to coordinate Stony Brook's Math Circle for high school students, and I run Stony Brook's Putnam Seminar.

I won the 2017 David P. Robbins Prize from the Mathematical Association of America. I've recently won a 2020 Sloan Research Fellowship from the Sloan Foundation, and a 2020 Stony Brook Trustees Faculty Award.

My research is supported by NSF Grants DMS-1712682, "Probabilistic methods in discrete structures and applications," and DMS-1802336, "Analysis of Discrete Structures and Applications."
