About Me
Originally from the Atlanta area, I am now a Professor of Mathematics at Millsaps College in Jackson, MS. I am also the director of the college’s Honors Program. Prior to my arrival at Millsaps in Fall 2017, I spent three years as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester in New York, and before that I spent two years in the same position at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. I completed my PhD in 2012 under the direction of Neil Lyall at the University of Georgia, where I also did my undergraduate work. My primary research interests lie in the field of arithmetic combinatorics, which concerns structure and patterns inside additive groups or rings, like the integers, and lies at the intersection of number theory, combinatorics, harmonic analysis, and ergodic theory. I am also currently pursuing a master’s degree in computer science through the OMSCS program at Georgia Tech.
