Publications

This list includes publications from my days in academia.

Anything older than 2015 is excluded. For a more complete list, I refer you to my Google Scholar page. You may also find my MathSciNet page useful. Please prefer the arXiv versions as they are more up to date than the corresponding journal versions and may include corrections, typo fixes, and other revisions.
