REU Site: Research Training for Undergraduates in Mathematical Analysis with Applications in Allied Fields

This REU Site is supported by the National Science Foundation, and this support is gratefully acknowledged. We are seeking ten talented and energetic undergraduates for our 2020 Mathematics REU Summer Program. To learn more about our NSF-funded program, please click on the link.

 

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 Orion Instruments Incorporated and Trimble Navigation Limited designing in-circuit emulators and 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 M. Gonek and for Boston College as a visiting assistant professor. During this time I also worked on prime numbers with Daniel A. 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.

Areas of Specialization

  • Number Theory
  • Probability and Mathematical Statistics

I am excited about interdisciplinary research and currently studying forecasting and structutral time-series models in financial economics.

 

Teaching Duties

I am dedicated to the goal of promoting significant learning experiences among students. I love learning, teaching mathematics on various levels, and helping students. In Spring 2020 I will be teaching

  • MATH 4260 Modern Algebra II
  • MATH 4350 Mathematics of Finance

 

Editorial Boards

I currently serve on the Editorial Board of Punjab University Journal of Mathematics as Associate Editor. I am happy to communicate high quality papers in Number Theory, Mathematical Analysis, Probability, and Multivariate Analysis.
