Teaching

Currently (spring semester 2008) I'm teaching Math 4400/6400, Number Theory, and a section of Math 2200, Analytic Geometry and Calculus. Here is a link to other courses I've taught at UGA.

Research interests:

Number theory, arithmetic geometry, with an emphasis on explicit methods;
currently, the Brauer-Manin obstruction on K3 surfaces and connections with genus-2 curves

Here is a link to the web page of Pete Clark's VIGRE seminar, in which I'm participating this year. The topic is "Computations on CM Elliptic Curves"--specifically CM elliptic curves over number fields and their torsion subgroups.

Papers

Tate-Shafarevich groups and K3 surfaces, submitted.

The Brauer-Manin obstruction on Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2, Proc. London Math. Soc. 95 (2007), no. 3, 735-777.

Del Pezzo surfaces and the Brauer-Manin obstruction, Ph.D. thesis, U.C. Berkeley, 2005.

Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 6, Math. Res. Lett. 12 (2005), no. 1, 75-84.

Slides

Del Pezzo surfaces and the Brauer-Manin obstruction, slides from an invited talk I gave at a special session of the AMS in analytic number theory and modular forms in November 2006.
