Current courses
I'm not teaching in 2021--2022 thanks to the Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship.
I'm part of the organizing committee of the Directed Reading Program at the University of Michigan.
Check out the website for the newest updates.
I mentored the following students as part of the program:
- Rajas Gupta, The Riemann Hypothesis, Winter 2021.
- Yuqing Liu, Primes of the form x^2 + ny^2, Winter 2020.
- John Haviland, Algebraic curves, Fall 2019.
- Robert Larase, Elliptic curves and cryptography, Winter 2019.
Send me an email if you're interested in doing a DRP with me next semester!
