Teaching
Currently (spring semester 2009) I'm teaching two sections of Math 131, Survey of Mathematics; and Math 256, Linear Algebra. (The course websites are available
on Blackboard.)
Research interests
Number theory, arithmetic geometry, with an emphasis on explicit methods;
currently, the Brauer-Manin obstruction
on K3 surfaces and connections with genus-2 curves,
as well as torsion points on CM elliptic curves
Papers
Tate-Shafarevich groups and K3 surfaces, accepted, Math. Comp.

surfaces of degree 2, Proc. London Math. Soc. 95 (2007), no. 3, 735-777.
