Courses I have TA'ed at UCLA in the past:
  • The Basic Qual bootcamp for incoming math graduate students.
  • Complex Analysis
  • Real Analysis
  • Combinatorics

Research

My current research is on the use of higher-rank automorphic forms applied to classical equidistribution problems and the relationship between primes and polynomials. My interests and methods are in analytic number theory, harmonic analysis on symmetric spaces, complex analysis, the spectral theory of autormorphic forms, trace formulas, exponential sums, L-functions.
