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. I have also begun working on a new research project relating to Mahler measure. Please email me if you are interested in finding out more about my research.
My thesis advisor was Matt Papanikolas. You can see my mathematical family tree here. (Courtesy of Dr. Amanda Beecher.)

Personal

I am married to Eddie Fuselier, who is also a mathematician, and is also an assistant professor here at HPU. We have two beautiful daughters, Ellie and Sophie who keep us very busy!
My parents, John and Joy, are retired from over 30 years of moving all over the world doing various projects for my dad's job. They now live in Georgia and enjoy spoiling their grandchildren!
I have two siblings. My older sister Joanna is a critical care nurse and lives in Georgia with her husband Jonathan (an architect) and their kiddos Jasmine and Jakob. My younger brother Justin lives in Rye, NY. He works in currency exchange, and runs a company called ShiftForex.
