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 are organizing the 36th Automorhphic Forms Workshop to be held at OSU on May 20-24, 2024.

We will hold the Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic Forms Conference at OSU in Spring 2025.

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