I've been at Wisconsin since the fall of 2005. My field is arithmetic algebraic geometry: my specific interests include rational points on varieties, enumeration of number fields and other arithmetic objects, Galois representations attached to varieties and their fundamental groups, non-abelian Iwasawa theory, pro-p group theory, automorphic forms, stable cohomology of moduli spaces, the complex of curves, Hilbert-Blumenthal abelian varieties, Q-curves, Serre's conjecture, the ABC conjecture, and Diophantine problems related to all of the above. My research here is partially supported by an NSF-CAREER grant and a Sloan Research Fellowship. I am a co-organizer of the Wisconsin number theory seminar. and the organizer of the interdisciplinary "Math And..." seminar.
In Fall 2008, I am teaching Math 240, Introduction to Discrete Mathematics. The textbook for this course will be Discrete Mathematics and its Applications, by K. Rosen, 6th edition.
I wrote a novel called The Grasshopper King, which came out in 2003 from Coffee House Press. I also write the "Do The Math" column in Slate, and have written articles on mathematical topics for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Wired, Seed, and The Believer.
I used to live in Princeton, NJ; a popular feature of my old web page was How to Eat Dinner in Princeton. Warning: this page is accurate only up to August 2005.
My graduate students: Seyfi Türkelli, Guillermo Mantilla-Soler, and Ekin Ozman. If you are considering joining this learned crew, you should read this page.
