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

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!
