Research Interests
I am interested in arithmetic geometry (= algebraic geometry + number theory). I enjoy approaching problems from a computational perspective and developing explicit methods to study them. Much of my research has consisted of devising algorithms to compute given mathematical quantities or objects, implementing these algorithms on a computer, and then computing collections of data using these implementations. Here are some of my research projects.
- Gluing curves along their torsion subgroups.
- Classifying algebras of low rank and degree over a commutative ring.
- Computing invariants and equations of Hilbert modular varieties.
- Computation of explicit equations for Belyi maps.

Development
I contribute to several mathematical development and coding projects.- I am a contributor to The L-functions and Modular Forms Database (LMFDB). In addition to other smaller contributions, I am one of the maintainers of the LMFDB's database of Belyi maps. To see current issues and development, see the LMFDB repo on GitHub.
- The raw data for our Belyi map computations is also available here.
- Our code for gluing curves along their 2-torsion is available here.
- I am part of a collaboration working to add a database of finite groups to the LMFDB. Our prelimiary version is now on the beta site of the LMFDB and our code is available on GitHub.
- I have worked on computing invariants of Hilbert modular surfaces. We have created a preliminary version of a database of Hilbert modular surfaces, currently available here; we plan to add it to the LMFDB in the near future. Our code is available here and the raw data is available here.
