About

I graduated on August 19, 2022 with a PhD in Mathematics. In my past life (life before the PhD studies), I was an electrical engineer with an MSEE from Purdue. I took the scenic route to the Mathematics PhD program. My advisers were Prof. Luca Candelori and Prof. Andrew Salch. My dissertation involved determining for which commutative rings integral representations of $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$ exist and their computation. For the (p+1)/2-dim Weil representations of $SL_2(F_p)$, I showed that a basis developed by Yilong Wang (as well as Patrick Gilmer et all) achieves the minimal integral model for all primes $lagex p$. That is, find the smallest such commutative rings. For the principal series Weil characters of dimension $(p+1)/2)$ , I found the minimal ring of definition for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})$ . My dissertation is available to download.

Although I am back to working in engineering, I am still doing math. You can say I’m funding my own research!
