Research Interests
 
Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry, with a particular focus on Galois Theory. A few years ago I began studying analogies between finite graphs and Riemann surfaces, which led to my current interest in chip-firing games on graphs. I am also interested in mathematical physics, especially the role of symmetry in quantum mechanics.
