    My specialty is algebraic geometry. This means, roughly, the study of the geometric properties of solutions of systems of algebraic equations. What I love about this subject is the interplay among geometry, algebra, analysis, and number theory. I am especially interested in applying differential and integral calculus in an algebraic setting. I am also involved in "logarithmic geometry," which is a systematic way of dealing with two important phenomena in mathematics: compactification and degeneration. I am especially interested in p-adic geometry, including various aspects of algebraic differential equations, and p-adic cohomology, including crystalline and prismatic cohomology.

    "What an abbys of uncertainty whenever the mind feels that some part of it has strayed beyond its own borders; when it, the seeker,
    is at once the dark regioin through which it must go seeking, where all its equipment will avail it nothing. Seek? More than that: create.
    It is face to face with something which does not so far exist, to which it alone can give reality and substance, which it alone can bring into the light of day."

    I also love music, especially the jazz of Patricia Barber:

    ``Music is audible mathematics, with something else in the mix"---Patricia Barber

    Patricia Barber: ``Nostalgia in Times Square"

    Patricia Barber: ``Triste"

    Patricia Barber: ``Scream"
