About Me

I am a Simons Junior Fellow at the Simons Society of Fellows, hosted by Courant Institute at NYU. I am interested in number theory, probability, combinatorics, and especially their interactions.

I was a research member at SL Math (MSRI), Berkeley, in Spring 2025.

I look forward to participating in the program: Universal Statistics in Number Theory, in Montréal 2026.
