Presentation:

I'm a postdoctoral member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. Starting August 2010 I will be a J. L. Doob Research Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm also supported by a postdoctoral fellowship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. I have received my PhD from the University of Montreal under the supervision of Professor Andrew Granville. My research field is Analytic number theory. I'm currently studying the distribution of extreme values of the Riemann zeta function and other families of L-functions in the critical strip. I'm also interested in various questions in multiplicative and probabilistic number theory, including the distribution and properties of smooth numbers, the multiplicative structure of arithmetic functions, Tchebychev's bias for primes in arithmetic progressions, and the tails of some number theoretic limiting distributions. Here is my (old) CV and a list of my publications:
