Hello! Welcome to my piece of trash webpage. In the fall, I will be going into my fourth year as a PhD student in mathematics here at UCLA. Here is my contact information:

E-mail address:

Office: MS 6617F
Office Hours: N/A

Teaching: I am not teaching any classes this upcoming year (’09-’10), as I am on fellowship. Huzzah! Here are the classes I have previously taught:

 

Math 31B Integration and Infinite Series (three times)

Math 32A Calculus of Several Variables I

Math 33A Linear Algebra and Applications (twice)

Math 115A Linear Algebra I (twice)

Math 120A Differential Geometry I

Math 131A Analysis I

Math 164 Optimization

 

Research interests: Algebra and algebraic geometry; in particular, algebraic $K$-theory. Currently reading Higher Algebraic $K$-Theory I (Quillen) and Higher Algebraic $K$-Theory of Schemes (Thomason and Troubaugh) under the guidance of my sensei, Christian Haesemeyer.

 

Notes: Here are some notes, on the papers above, that I’ve typed up to help my studies. These are by no means complete, or self-standing.

            Notes on Quillen – joint project by Adam Massey, Viraj Navkal, and myself

            Notes on Thomason-Troubaugh

 

Links:   UCLA Math Department

            My Blog – read at your own risk. I make no claims to interesting content! :)

            University of Washington Challenge of the Week – fun weekly problem solving challenge. You could win some ice cream!

            Daniel Murfet’s comprehensive algebraic geometry notes – mad props to this guy – his notes are unbelievably complete and self-contained. Certainly these are useful for any graduate student looking to study algebraic geometry.

            J. Milne’s website – lots of useful notes. The apocrypha section is an especially fun/interesting read!
