About

Hi, welcome to my home page. I am a Zorn Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at Indiana University. My postdoc mentors are Hari Bercovici and Norm Levenberg.

I completed my PhD at Washington University in St. Louis in 2022 under the direction of Professor John E. McCarthy.

You can find my CV here.

Research Interests

My research interests are in functional analysis. In particular, my focus tends to be in operator theory, complex analysis, and their interaction. My work as a graduate student began with some problems involving optimal polynomial approximants, and has since morphed into a cornucopia of different things. The underlying theme here can be regarded as operators acting on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. I am currently thinking about semigroups of operators, approximation problems in Banach/Hilbert spaces of analytic functions, and various extremal problems.
