Research Contributions
-
My research interest lies in the area of Number Theory. Recently, I am working in partition theory using techniques from modular forms, analytic number theory, algebraic number theory, and combinatorics. Specifically, I am interested in the arithmetic and distribution properties of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms and hauptmoduls, and the combinatorial properties of theta functions. I am also interested in finding the connections with other areas of mathematics (like: Siegel cusp forms, Graph Theory ) with various types of partition functions.
