I hail from the small hamlet known as San Francisco, California. After four years well spent at University High School, somehow I made my way to Princeton University,
where I received a B.A. in Mathematics in May 2005. You can read
the culmination of my Princeton mathematical education here
(watch out, it is long). If you do not want to read such a long
document, you can find a summary of my thesis (with pictures and
colors!) here. But watch out, there
are some typos. If you are looking for a good way to spend a Friday
night, see if you can find them.
Post-graduation I moved back to San Francisco, and worked for the leader in performance based digital marketing
(whatever that means). However, the call of mathematics was too
strong, and somehow I was able to convince UCLA to accept me into their
grad program. I now live in Los Angeles with my charming girlfriend Meg, who unfortunately does not like math as much as i do.
Research interests: Analytic Number Theory.
Non-math interests: Film/theater, Japanese language and culture,
climbing (which I do poorly), watching well produced serialized
television drama (which I do extremely well).
Below please find a picture of me thinking about very difficult and important mathematical problems.
