Welcome! I am a sixth year mathematics Ph.D. student at the University of California San Diego, advised by professor Aaron Pollack. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies at UCLA. As of Fall 2025, I am on the postdoctoral job market.

Here is my CV.

Research

I am interested in automorphic forms and L-functions. My research topics include: the Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms on exceptional groups and their arithmetic properties; Algebraicity results for special values of L-functions; and differential operators.
