Research Information

My general area of research is number theory. More specifically, I study hypergeometric functions over finite fields and their relationships to modular forms and to counting points on varieties over finite fields. Please email me if you are interested in finding out more about my research.
My thesis advisor was Matt Papanikolas.

Personal

I am married to Eddie Fuselier, who is also a mathematician, and is also an assistant professor here at West Point. This summer, our first little one Ellie joined us! Some of our family pictures are posted on Eddie's gallery page.
My parents, John and Joy, just retired from moving all over the world doing various projects for my dad's job. They now live in Georgia and enjoy spoiling their granddaughters!
I have two siblings. My older sister Joanna is a critical care nurse and lives in the Atlanta area with her husband Jonathan, who is an architect and their adorable baby girl Jasmine. My younger brother Justin lives in Brooklyn, NY and works for a currency exchange company.
