Age: 24

I'm working on my Math PhD at Brown University. I've finished my first year, and now I pursue my interests in analytic number theory.

I happen to loosely update a math blog at mixedmath.wordpress.com. I put a lot of MSE things on there too, though a lot of the material caters to whatever class I'm teaching at the time (this fall, calc I).
