Conference Papers

After attending a conference, I usually feel motivated, inspired, and recharged. Conferences allow me to meet people with similar interests, keep my mind open to new opportunities, and be challenged to consider new ideas. As a bonus, I get to travel all over the world!

You can browse a list of my conference papers by year, or just by scrolling down. I have only uploaded the full papers on which I'm the main author. Most others can be found in the AMS past meetings search page.
