Research
I am currently a postdoc in Bonn University, working with Valentin Blomer. Previously, I completed my PhD thesis and a short postdoc at Queen Mary University of London under the supervision of Abhishek Saha. I am interested in number theory, and I am currently working on various analytic aspects of automorphic forms. Here is my CV.

Teaching
I have been a teaching assistant at QMUL for the following courses.
- Introduction to Probabilities (Lecturer: Dr Rosemary Harris) (online tutorial due to covid-19 pandemic).
- Introduction to Differential Geometry (Lecturer: Dr Arick Shao).
- Introduction to Algebra (Lecturer: Dr Alex Fink).
- Calculus I (Lecturer: Dr Oscar Bandtlow).
I have also been a demonstrator at QMUL for Complex variables (Lecturer: Dr Mira Shamis), and a tutor at King's College London for Introduction to Number Theory (Lecturer: Dr Steve Lester).
Administration and services
I am a Royal Institution speaker, and an AMS reviewer.
