Research Interests

My main area of study is Number Theory. I am particularly interested in units and class groups of number fields; extensions of global fields with restricted ramification; the arithmetic of elliptic curves; and special values of L-functions.   My other academic interests include coding theory, cryptography, history of mathematics, mathematics education at all levels, and communication of mathematics and its role in society for the public at large.
