I am currently a Chowla Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia, working with prof. Lior Silberman and prof. Pablo Shmerkin. Before that, I was a Ph.D. student in the Department of Mathematics at ETH Zurich, working under the supervision of prof. Manfred Einsiedler.

My main research area is dynamical systems, with connections to geometry, number theory and probability theory. For a more detailed description, see the Research page.

Professional activities

This year I’m organizer of the Dynamical Systems Seminar, the Center for Dynamics and Geometry Colloquium and the Dynamical Systems Working Seminar of the Anatole Katok Center for Dynamical Systems and Geometry, together with prof. Yakov Pesin, prof. Svetlana Katok and prof. Federico Rodriguez Hertz. Please contact me at ebc5504@psu.edu if you are interested in giving a talk at one of these seminars.
