News (see also past news)

I will be away from MIT for most of the 2009-2010 academic year, visiting the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. I will be back in Boston periodically, though. During this time (as always), email is the best way to get hold of me. (26 Jul 09)

Fast facts (see also my CV)

Teaching: none during 2009-10. See my past courses.

Research areas: number theory, arithmetic algebraic geometry. Specialties: p-adic analytic methods in arithmetic geometry, p-adic Hodge theory, algorithms in arithmetic geometry, applications in computer science (notably cryptography).

Editorial activity: International Math. Research Notices.

Directorial activity: USA Mathematical Olympiad committee, Art of Problem Solving Foundation board of directors, cogito.org advisory board, Committee on the American Mathematics Competitions advisory board (AMS representative).

Current grants: DARPA grant HR0011-09-1-0048, NSF CAREER grant DMS-0545904, MIT Research Support Committee grant (NEC Fund). I also recently completed a Sloan Research Fellowship.

Awards: 2006 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.

Software: On my computer dwork.mit.edu, I maintain Magma (command magma) and Sage (command sage). (Math department users can also access Magma on archimedes, hypatia, and newton.) I also maintain an install of Sage on Athena (in the sage locker: run add sage; sage), but only for Linux machines such as Linerva.
