Mathematical Interests

I work with arithmetic groups and quadratic forms, a fascinating area of mathematics that lies in the intersection of differential geometry and number theory. As such, my interests span a wide collection of areas including systolic geometry, spectral geometry, geometric group theory, Lie theory, algebraic number theory, and class field theory. My thesis advisor was Matthew Stover.

Using arithmetic lattices, I study the topology and geometry of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces. Most of my research is aimed at analyzing questions from systolic and spectral geometry concerning arithmetic locally symmetric spaces.

Above is the Sage image I created of a systole curve in the principal arithmetic surface associated to the Hilbert symbol (2,3 / Q)

Visualizing Hyperbolic Geometry

Over the past several years, I have become increasingly interested in using computers perform computations, run searches, and create visualizations within hyperbolic geometry, in particular using the Python-based Sage.

To the right are certain tessellations of the upper-half plane with hyperbolic triangles. I produced these with python.
