Conferences organized
Here is the schedule for Alberta Number Theory Days 2010 (with Matthew Greenberg), held at the Banff International Research Station from 30th April to 2nd May 2010. 
Mathematical interests
My primary mathematical interests are in algebraic number theory, a branch of number theory that uses algebraic tools (among others) to understand the integers.
