Detecting Properties from Descriptions of Groups Paper 

Current Research

My current research lies at the intersection of algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry, also known as arithmetic geometry. I study the arithmetic of conic bundles and the extent to which they fail the Hasse Principle upon base extension. This work originated from trying to answer a similar question for Chatelet surfaces, which are a special type of conic bundle surface. This research is intimately tied into Brauer groups and the Brauer-Manin obstruction and the extent to which they explain the failure of the Hasse principle for classes of varieties.
