Research interests

I am a research mathematician interested in aspects of algebra, analysis, combinatorics, geometry and number theory, with particular emphasis on using tools from the former to address problems in the latter. I completed my PhD in additive combinatorics and since then my research has primarily focused on additive combinatorics and the allied areas of harmonic analysis and analytic number theory.
