Most of my work revolves around the existence and distribution of rational points on algebraic varieties. I study local-to-global principles and how its failures are explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. Recently, I have been working on extending the obstruction theory from integral and rational points to semi-integral points.
When I am not researching and teachinhg, I'm an avid pool player. In 2017 and 2018, my team won the Texas BCA Championships back to back. Also in 2017, we placed 2nd in the National Championship in Las Vegas.
