Overview
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Mathematics at Florida State University working under Dr. Alexander Reznikov. My research interests broadly include Harmonic Analysis, Potential Theory, Geometric Measure Theory, Ergodic Theory, and Fractal Geometry. I am chiefly interested in expanding the understanding of Riesz energy and best packing on unusual spaces with a fractal structure to include more information about the Minkowski content of the underlying set.
