Hello, my name is Alex Kruckman.

I am a second year grad student at Berkeley studying model theory, algebraic geometry, and their interactions. My advisor is Tom Scanlon.

My email address is my last name at math.berkeley.edu.

My office is 787 Evans. For Spring 2012, my office hours are Fridays 2-4pm.

This semester, I am a GSI for Math 32 with Mike Hartglass. I am teaching Sections 101 and 103, which meet 9-10 and 11-12 respectively on Mondays and Wednesdays in 3102 and 3105 Etcheverry. The page for my sections is here.

If, like Aaron, you need to calculate Adem relations for the Steenrod algebra, you can do so here.

Previously, I was an undergrad at Brown University, where my majors were mathematics and electronic music/multimedia. My senior thesis (in math) was an exposition of the Ax-Kochen theorem, an algebraic result using model theoretic methods. If you'd like to know more, you're welcome to peruse it.

I will be taking my qualifying exam on June 12, 2012. Here is my syllabus.
