Biography
I obtained my Ph.D. in 2014 under the supervision of Alex Gamburd at U.C. Santa Cruz, and had postdoctoral positions at I.A.S. Princeton and Yale University.
I'm interested in problems in geometry, random matrix theory, operator algebras, dynamics, and number theory.
I am from Northern Ireland.
