I'm a fourth year PhD student in mathematics at UC San Diego working with Kiran Kedlaya. I am interested in nonarchimedean geometry.
Publications and Preprints
Expository Writing
- A first course on p-adic numbers: these are notes I wrote for an reading group I led as part of UCSD's RTG program; the notes are written as
a sequence of problems in lieu of full proofs being given, with hints/breakdown into parts when necessary.
