I just finished my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, in May 2005. (Here is my thesis.) I'm currently studying cubic surfaces, Brauer-Manin obstructions, and other related ideas from algebraic geometry and number theory. My advisor was Bjorn Poonen. He helped organize a conference in Palo Alto in December 2002 entitled "Rational and integral points on higher-dimensional varieties," at which I gave a talk.

I wrote an undergraduate thesis at Harvard, with the able guidance of Professor Richard Taylor. You may be able to download the PostScript file of it if you go here.

From September through December 2004, I was at the Institut Henri Poincare.

A cover letter for job applications, my CV, my research summary, a longer research statement, and my teaching statement.

For Prof. Vojta: A very rough thesis outline, and a summary of the algorithm for diagonal cubic surfaces.
