Curriculum Vitae
Research Interests
My dissertation research concerns the arithmetic and geometry of the open p-adic
disc, with a view toward lifting problems in Galois Theory and Arithmetic
Algebraic Geometry. More generally, I am interested in the ramification theory
of (higher) local fields and in effective forms of higher dimensional class
field theories. Recently, I have developed a taste for anabelian questions.
Preprints

Other Writings
Non-technical Research Statement - Written for
non-mathematicians, this is a brief (and necessarily somewhat vague) description
of my research area.
Rationality of p-adic Poincaré Series - An
exposition of Denef's proof of the rationality of the p-adic Poincaré series
attached to a p-adic variety, using Macintyre's quantifier
elimination for the p-adic numbers and Hironaka's resolution of
singularities.
Counting Lattice Points in Polytopes via Riemann-Roch - A
partial summary of a survey paper of Barvinok and Pommersheim, describing a
polynomial time algorithm for computing the Todd class of a toric variety.
Hilbert Functions of Finite Group Orbits: Abelian and
Metacyclic Groups - Senior Thesis written under the direction of David Perkinson
at Reed College.
