Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. (MLK, Jr, 1967)

I moved to UConn as Dean of CLAS in August of 2008 after spending 18 years at The University of Illinois at Chicago. Chicago was great, but here in Storrs I see wild turkeys walk across my lawn and stars in the sky like I haven't seen in years. Oh, and being Dean is fun, too, especially at such a great school. If you're interested in learning more about CLAS at UConn, you should check out the college web page.

Mathematics

I am a number theorist and have worked on a range of problems related to elliptic curves, modular forms, p-adic L-fnctions, and p-adic analytic geometry. I am proudest of my work with Peter Schneider on analytic and continuous representations of p-adic groups.

A brief CV is available here and a list of publications is here.

I offered a course (with J. F. Dat) on p-adic representations at the Ecole d'ete on Representations p-adiques des groupes p-adiques in Paris in July of 2008.

I am also interested in Mathematics Education and most recently participated in a workshop on Mathematicians Writing for Teachers organized by Susan Jo Russell of TERC and Deborah Schifter of EDC.

The proceedings of a UConn forum on energy, sponsored jointly by the School of Engineering, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UConn, is available here. Warning: it is a large file.

Music

Come to the Dean's Acoustic Jam Session and Sing Along! Everyone who likes to to play an old-time or folk instrument (harmonica, guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, fiddle, dulcimer, dobro...) or who just likes to sing (no instrument needed!) is invited. This is a jam session, not a performance. That means it's for the pleasure of the participants, not an audience. All ability levels are welcome, and everyone joins in. The book Rise Up Singing: The Group Singing Songbook by Peter Blood is a great thing to have at this event.

The sing-alongs take place on the last Thursday of the month usually in SU303. Check out the facebook page.

Meanwhile, listen to Ashokan Farewell, played by Walt Woodward and Jeremy Teitelbaum (no laughing!)
