Biography
Since January 2010 I have been on the faculty at the University of Lethbridge. From July 2007 to December 2009 I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Lethbridge studying with Dr. Nathan Ng, Dr. Habiba Kadiri and Dr. Amir Akbary. During the first two years I was a PIMS post-doctoral fellow.
I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics from Queen's University in May 2007. I studied under Dr. Ram Murty.

Research
In general, I am interested in analytic number theory, and I am especially interested in L-functions. Lately I have been studying bounds on moments of L-functions. I have also been studying the relationship between the generalized Riemann hypothesis and the existence of solutions to Diophantine equations, using methods arising out of the negative solution to Hilbert's 10th problem.
