I completed my Ph.D. in May, 2011, at Simon Fraser University. My advisor was Nils Bruin.

My primary research area is algebraic number theory, and in particular, in arithmetic geometry and arithmetic dynamics.

Below is my list of publications. There is also a section for my other contributions. A link will take you to the journal article or download a pdf file (if available, and maybe not the most updated version). A list of my presentations is also there.
