Biography
I am a second-year student of the Erasmus Mundus Program ALGANT (Algebra, Geometry, and Number Theory)--a joint degree in pure mathematics financed by the European Commission and hosted by the universities at Bordeaux (FR), Paris-Sud 11 (FR), Padova (IT), and Leiden (NL). I received my bachelors from Albion College (Albion, Michigan) in Spring 2006.
I am currently a student at Université Paris-Sud 11. I intend to pursue a Ph.D. somewhere, but oddly enough I'm not making any effort to apply to programs; sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I am currently studying étale cohomology, the Lichtenbaum conjectures and weil-étale cohomology, and number theory.
I am primarily interested in pure mathematics and too many other distracting things like politics, race relations, music, journalism, etc. I should quit them actually.
What I'm doing in citizendium
Trying to write a few quality articles that I care about (e.g., Serge Lang deserves to be rewritten much better than the state it's in now, and also his very very important book Challenges should get a page).
Working on quality mathematical articles, and also making advanced articles you wouldn't find in wikipedia; if we all do something that wiki doesn't have now, then that will help attract people, because if we just rewrite the same kinds of articles they have over there, the google factor will have citizendium buried for a long time.
