Long Hall B06 [Office]
Educational Background
B.S., Mathematics, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, 2025
Profile/About Me
After living in Germany and near Washington DC, Chris is enjoying the nature of Clemson and using the beautiful scenery as a backdrop for his studies and investigations into elementary number theory topics. At time of writing this, Chris is early in his program and has not begun the dissertation process. He also has interests in philosophy (epistemology, logic), computer science (algorithms), and soccer.
Research Interests
Various flavors of number theory, including algebraic, combinatorial, and computational. Currently I am in the exploration phase as I expand my experience in a variety of fields as I work on a few small side projects for fun.
