RESEARCH INTERESTS AND CURRENT RESEARCH WORKS:
  My research area is number theory in function fields, with an emphasis on the application of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method in Diophantine problems.      
 
 My current work is centered on multidimensional Vinogradov-type estimates in function fields via Wooley’s recent revolutionary approach of efficient congruencing.
