Welcome to my home page. I'm glad you stopped by!
I am currently an associate professor in the mathematical sciences department at Loyola College (soon to be Loyola University) in Baltimore. I came here in August 2003 from the University of Rochester, where I taught and did research for three years. Before that, I was a student at the University of Michigan, earning my Ph.D. under the direction of Trevor Wooley.
My research interests are in number theory. One of the main reasons why I like number theory is that there are so many questions which any junior high school student can understand, but nobody in the world knows how to answer. If you are interested, you can check out my research description above. My personal research is unfortunately not on one of the questions that are really easy to state, but I have tried to write it so that it's not too hard to understand. I hope that I have succeeded. If you're interested in reading a more detailed account of my work, please read either my research statement and NSF grant application on the professional items page or my papers and preprints.
This fall, I'm teaching Math 252 (Calculus II) and Math 395 (Discrete Methods). You can find a link to the homepage for this course above, as well as some information about other courses I have taught.
I am also in charge of Loyola's Putnam Exam and Virginia Tech Math Competion
teams. These are math contests for college students. The problems can be very hard
(especially the Putnam exam - the Va. Tech problems are somewhat easier), but the
contest is a lot of fun. If you are interested in participating, please contact me!
