On the Market

I am on the market for a tenure-track job this year (2008). In addition to downloading my cv you may want to check out my research. Teaching and research statements are available upon request.


Research

I am interested in number theory and arithmetic geometry with an emphasis on elliptic curves over function fields, their L-functions, and related topics. If you are interested in these topics, then you might consider checking out some of my papers.


Twins

In my thesis I showed that there are infinitely many twin-prime pairs f,f-1 in F_q[t] (for 'most' q), a function-field analogue of the well-known (open) problem in Z. On 3/25/05 twins made a more significant impact on my life with the birth of my sons Moby and Kelvin (pictured above). My wife maintains a wonderful blog with pictures of them.
