About me

I am an Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University. Previously I was a NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto with mentor James Arthur . I earned my PhD from the University of Missouri in 2018 with advisor Shuichiro Takeda who is now at Osaka University.

We will hold the Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic Forms Conference (TORA XIV) at OSU on April 4-6, 2025.

Save the date! Clifton Cunningham, Paul Mezo, Bin Xu, and myself are organizing the conference Trace Formula, Endoscopic Classification and Beyond: the Mathematical Legacy of James Arthur to be held at The Fields Institute on August 11-15, 2025.

We held the 36th Automorhphic Forms Workshop at OSU on May 20-24, 2024.

Here is the Pre Arizona Winter School (PAWS) page for the course Symmetries of root systems that I taught

I am a faculty adviser for the Oklahoma State University Chapter of The Association for Women in Mathematics
