About Me
I completed my Ph.D. in the Spring of 2007 and I will begin a postdoc position at Iowa State, Ames in the fall. My area of research is analytic number theory, with an emphasis on q-series and theta functions. My research interests have been largely motivated by the work of the great Indian mathematician S. Ramanujan. Through the generous assistance of my advisor, Professor Bruce Berndt, I have become aware of the many frontiers of research opened by Ramanujan's extensive work. I am excited about the future contributions to mathematics resulting from Ramanujan's insights.
I enjoy sharing my work with others. One of the great things about elementary number theory is its accessibility. It can be approached and appreciated without an extensive mathematical background. Moreover, upon closer investigation, the questions raised in this area can lead to a lifetime of intense and rewarding investigation.
I have a strong interest in teaching mathematics. I am particularly enthusiastic about teaching mathematics in ways which breathe life into the subject. During my stay at the University of Illinois, I have been actively involved in the Calculus and Mathematica program. I look forward to teaching mathematics in an active way throughout my career.
