I am Professor of Mathematics at the University of Houston. Before joining UH, I was Benjamin Pierce Assistant Professor at Harvard University. My research work primarily concerns Complex analysis, Diophantine approximation and Differential geometry. In 1999, I received the University of Houston Research and Scholarship Excellence Award .
