picture of me
I am a fifth year PhD student in mathematics at UW-Madison and my advisor is Prof. Jordan Ellenberg. I am graduating in 2009 Spring.

Here is my Curriculum Vitae.

RESEARCH:

My research interest lies in arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory. More precisely, I am interested in Hurwitz stacks--Moduli stacks of coverings of P^1, counting rational points on varieties, counting arithmetic objects, connection between Galois representations and automorphic forms. Currently, I am working on three projects:....

Here is my Research Statement.


Work in Progress:

On the Cohomology of Hurwitz Stacks.

On the Number of Extensions of a Global Field with Fixed Degree and Bounded Discriminant.
