Research interests
My undergraduate advisor is Wong Shiu-chun (in Zhejiang Univ., China), and my graduate advisor is Martin Olsson.
syllbus for my qual.
My current research interests are motivic zeta (and L) functions (i.e. L-functions of number fields, of algebraic varieties and algebraic stacks over finite fields and number fields) and automorphic L-functions. In particular, I'm interested in the analytic continuation of Hasse-Weil zeta functions of certain stacks over number fields, as well as the issue of independence of l of their Frobenius eigenvalues.

Writings
operad (my undergraduate thesis)
weil conjecture for elliptic curves (my course paper for a number theory course)
