Research and Expertise

My interest in arithmetic statistics focuses on enumeration of elliptic curves, number fields, and polynomials with particular Galois structure. My interest in prime number theory mostly concerns prime values of polynomials. My interest in diophantine equations are focused on those equations with particular applications, such as those that arise in Buchi's problem, for example.
