I'm a professor of Mathematics at the University of Georgia

My research interests are in Capacity Theory, Arithmetic Geometry, Arithmetical Dynamics, Arithmetic aspects of Mathematical Logic, Algebraic Number Theory, Algorithms, and Computational Mathematics.

I have supervised five doctoral students and four masters students:

  • (Doctoral): Steve Donnelly, Milton Nash, Charles Pooh, Daeshik Park, Zubeyir Cinkir.
  • (Masters): Pongsak Ajjimarangsee, Chandra French, Mee Seong Im, Renee Canfield.

    Here is my current Vita.

    I have written two research monographs:

  • Capacity theory on algebraic curves, Lecture Notes in Mathematics 1378, Springer-Verlag, New York (1989), 437 pp.
  • Existence of the sectional capacity (with C. F. Lau and R. Varley), Memoires of the American Mathematical Society, vol 145, no. 690 (2000), 130 pp,.
