Welcome

I am an Asso­ciate Pro­fes­sor in the Depart­ment of Math­e­mat­ics and Sta­tis­tics at the Uni­ver­si­ty of North­ern British Colum­bia.

My research inter­ests are in Num­ber The­o­ry, Mod­u­lar Forms, Moments of L-func­tions,  Auto­mor­phic L-Func­tions and Rankin-Sel­berg Con­vo­lu­tions. For more details, see my pub­li­ca­tions page.

My research is sup­port­ed by NSERC Dis­cov­ery Grant “Moments and Val­ue-Dis­tri­b­u­tion of Auto­mor­phic L-func­tions” (2025–2030).

I am also one of the lead col­lab­o­ra­tors on the PIMS-fund­ed Col­lab­o­ra­tive Research Group: L‑functions in Ana­lyt­ic Num­ber The­o­ry (2022–2025).

I am one of the orga­niz­ers of the PIMS CRG Com­par­a­tive Prime Num­ber The­o­ry Sym­po­sium which was host­ed at UBC Van­cou­ver June 17–21, 2024. In pre­vi­ous years, our CRG orga­nized the BIRS-host­ed sum­mer school Inclu­sive Paths in Explic­it Num­ber The­o­ry at UBCO (July 2–15, 2023) and Moments of L-func­tions Work­shop at UNBC (July 25–29, 2022).

Brief Biography

I received my MSc in Math­e­mat­ics from the Amer­i­can Uni­ver­si­ty of Beirut in August 2007 with Kamal Khuri-Mak­disi. In May 2013, I grad­u­at­ed from The Uni­ver­si­ty of British Colum­bia with a PhD in pure Math­e­mat­ics. My PhD super­vi­sor was Nike Vat­sal. After that, I spent two years at Queen’s Uni­ver­si­ty as a Cole­man Post­doc­tor­al Fel­low work­ing with Ram Mur­ty. From August 2015 until July 2017, I was a PIMS Post­doc­tor­al Fel­low at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Leth­bridge work­ing with Amir Akbary, Habi­ba Kadiri and Nathan Ng.
