"God exists since mathematics is consistent, and the Devil exists since we cannot prove it."André Weil

I am a PhD student in pure mathematics at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Research Interests

I am currently working under the superb guidance of Dr James McKee. My main research interest is in algebraic number theory, more specifically in the behaviour of certain algebraic integers. I am also interested in combinatorics, group theory and Fourier analysis.

I am currently looking at graph representations of algebraic integers whose minimal polynomial has small Mahler measure. The aim is to settle a version of Lehmer's problem.

Other Interests

I have a passion for creating and listening to music. I also enjoy playing racquet sports; I am a keen squash player. When the opportunities arise, I enjoy scuba diving and surfing.

I like to keep up with technology by learning new programming languages and concepts.
