Short Bio

I am an assistant professor in the department of mathematics and computer science, Muhlenberg College. I received Ph.D. in 2003 from Johns Hopkins University under the supervision of Victor Kolyvagin and Cristian Popescu, specializing in number theory. After teaching at Hendrix College for three years, I came to Muhlenberg College in 2007.

Research

During my Ph.D. program, I studied Kolyvagin's Euler systems of Heegner points of elliptic curves and their applications to Shafarevich-Tate groups. More recently, I am interested in linear inependence of zeta zeros in function fields and its applications to analytic number theory. For copies of my papers and slides from recent presentations, please see my research page.

Muhlenberg Sage server
