General Information

From Drummondville, Québec, to San José, California, to Urbana, Illinois, to Rochester, New York, to Boston, Massachusetts, to Chattanooga, Tennessee—I suppose this makes me someone with great wanderlust and a keen interest in exploration. J’ai une imagination débordante—tu le sais bien. Before drifting into mathematics, I spent many moons at Trimble Nagivation Limited designing GPS firmware for navigation, tracking, data collection, and timing—Memories! After receiving the Ph.D. degree in 2007 from University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign under advisor Alexandru Zaharescu, I worked for University of Rochester as a postdoctoral faculty under the supervision of Steven Gonek and for Boston College as a visiting assistant professor. During this time I also worked on prime numbers with Daniel Goldston at San José State University. I joined the faculty of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2011 and currently work as Associate Professor of Mathematics.
