My major interests lie within the subfield of math known as Mathematical Logic.
Specifically, I am interested in Recursion Theory, Model Theory , and the natural blending of the two, Recursive Model Theory.

During the Summer of 2009, I was an instructor for Math 115, Number Theory.
During the Spring of 2008, I was a GSI for Professor Slaman's Math 227 (Recursion Theory, graduate) course.
During the Fall of 2007, I was a GSI for the Math 113 (Abstract Algebra) courses.
During the Spring of 2007, I was a GSI for Professor Lam's Math 16A (Analytic Geometry and Calculus) course
During the Fall of 2006, I was a GSI for Professor Harrington's Math 16B (Analytic Geometry and Calculus, second semester).
During the Summer of 2006, I was an instructor for Math 16A, Analytic Geometry and Calculus.
During the Spring of 2006, I was a GSI for Professor Sethian's Math 54(Linear Algebra, lower division) course.
During the Fall of 2005, I was a GSI for Professor Borcherd's Math 1A (Calculus, first course).

I play online on the Internet Chess Club under the handle "mathematician". I very much recommend the ICC for any serious chess-player (or one moving towards serious).
If you're in Berkeley looking for some friendly games, a group gets together to play some blitz chess at the I-house cafe most evenings.
I've played chess consistently since I was a young(er) lad, and I strongly believe that chess has a great influence on a child's development.
More than anything else, chess is a great way to express your "logical creativity". That's the same sort of creativity that helps you solve math problems.

I love to unicycle, as you should be able to tell. Locally, we play Unicycle Basketball and go on mountain unicycle rides. For more info, go here.
I also juggle. Our local juggling club (meeting on campus) is here.
Despite the fact that it goes against my pure-math nature, sometimes I enjoy seeing math that can be applied to regular everyday life. The Renter's Problem is a beautiful example of that. It gives a constructive solution to a common problem.
