About
I am a first year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche (IMJ-PRG). I am advised by Loïc Merel and Olivier Fouquet.
In 2025, I completed the M2 master's program in mathématiques fondamentales at Sorbonne Université, funded by the Paris Graduate School for Mathematical Sciences (PGSM) fellowship. I was supervised by Christophe Cornut for my M2 mémoire.
In 2024, I completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Harvard, where I was supervised by Barry Mazur for my senior honors thesis.
I was involved in the PROMYS program for several years, both as a student and counselor. I grew up in North Carolina.
Research Interests
Special values of L-functions, Harris-Venkatesh Conjecture, modular forms (especially those of weight 1), Eisenstein ideal, Stark conjectures, eigenvarieties
