I am a student of Ted Chinburg in arithmetic geometry.
Description for experts: My thesis is about representations of étale fundamental groups of varieties over fields of positive characteristic into linear groups over finite fields. I am also interested in: covers of curves, quadratic forms, rational points on varieties, and nearly everything that can be described as "Galois theory."
Description for non-mathematicians: I work within a broad area of mathematics known as algebra. Within algebra, my sub-area is sometimes called arithmetic. My thesis project is counting.
