I am a Senior Software Engineer in Creo Core Geometry at PTC. Creo is a CAD software for manufacturing design; the Core Geometry group is in charge of maintaining and developing the geometry kernel.

Before that, I worked in academia for about a decade. I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the math department at Bates College until August 2025 (when I decided that a career in academia was no longer tenable). Before that, I had two postdoctoral appointments: the first at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (CUNY) and the second at the Technion. I was a PhD student of Alex Kontorovich at Yale, before he migrated to Rutgers University.

Most of my research is in various areas of number theory, with some connections to geometry and logic. If you are interested, I recommend looking at either my CV or my research page (which links to my research statement).

Aside from my research interests, I am invested in mathematical outreach. I believe that it is extremely important that both undergraduate students and the general public have a better understanding of what mathematics and mathematical research is like. It seems to me that there is an enormous amount of misinformation and misapprehension toward mathematics, especially pure mathematics. I have worked in REU-type programs, given public talks, and participated in Yale’s directed reading program, all of which help address this problem in various ways. In April 2023, Springer published my book, Linear Fractional Transformations: An Illustrated Introduction in their Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series. (For more information about this, see Books.)

I also write on Substack: you can find me at the Deranged Mathematician.
