I'm a fifth-year grad student here; my advisor is Dennis Gaitsgory. You can also look at my Academia.edu page.
You can now read a draft of my entire thesis (updated 4 February 2010)! Don't get hurt lifting it. If you are interested in reading it, you should probably read this summary first.
And here's the (now very) minor thesis.In 2006-2007 I organized Trivial Notions with Ruifang Song.
Occasionally I find it enlightening to dash off a short, optimized course on some basic subject. Here I've got proofs of the basic theorems of finite group representations and Galois theory of finite field extensions. Here is the appendix to my thesis, formatted as a standalone "paper": Limits in an abelian category.
Here is the text of my Spring 2008 Trivial Notions lecture "Basic Calculus", which proves that the Gaussian function is not integrable by elementary functions. It is based on a paper of Rosenlicht, "Integration in Finite Terms", and a previous lecture of Brian Conrad's.
