Seminars
Class field theoryConferences 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. 
Research interests
My research is in algebraic number theory. In particular, it is concerned with the connection between L-functions and class-groups, with emphasis on the route via Stark units and Stark elements in the sense of Rubin's integral Stark conjecture.
