About me

I am an assistant professor at the University of Lethbridge.



Research

My area of research is analytic number theory.  I am interested in the Riemann zeta function, prime numbers, and a variety of problems in multiplicative number theory. My Ph.D. thesis, Limiting Distributions and Zeros of Artin L-functions, studied the finer behaviour of prime counting functions and the summatory function of the Mobius function. Some of the recent topics I have worked on are: mean values of L-functions, non-vanishing of L-functions, sums over the zeros of the zeta function, gaps between zeros of the zeta function, mean value estimates for Dirichlet polynomials, convolution sums of arithmetic functions, and various questions concerning distribution functions of number theoretic functions. Here are my publications .

Our department has a very active Number Theory Group. Students interested in doing graduate studies in number theory are encouraged to apply for funding.

Here is a link to the Lethbridge Number Theory and Combinatorics seminar .



Teaching

For my students in STAT 1770 C/D the course website may be found at Courseware.



Conference organization

I co-organized Number theory day in Lethbridge This conference took place at the University of Lethbridge on May 7, 2008.

I organized a summer school on Analytic number theory and Diophantine approximation with Damien Roy. It was held in Ottawa, Ontario from June 30 - July 11, 2008.
