Some info:
My PhD advisor was Benson Farb at the University of Chicago.
Here is my CV(updated 2013).
Research:
I study asymptotic group theory, investigate group theoretic properties through numerical invariants, and explore number theoretic behavior in groups.
Some papers:
Arbitrarily large residual finiteness growth (with Brandon Seward), [PDF], submitted.
Extremal behavior of divisibility functions (with D. B. McReynolds), [PDF], submitted.
Generalizing Magnus' characterization of free groups to some free products (with Brandon Seward), [PDF], to appear in Comm. in Algebra.
Approximating a group by its solvable quotients, [PDF], New York J. Math. 17 (2011) 699-712.
Quantifying residual finiteness of arithmetic groups (with Tasho Kaletha) [PDF], Compositio Mathematica (2012), volume 148, issue 03, pp. 907-920.
Simple closed curves, word length, and nilpotent quotients of free groups
(with Asaf Hadari) [PDF], Pacific J. Math, Vol. 254 (2011), No. 1, 67-72.
