I am an associate professor at the University of Lethbridge. Here is some further information on my career history .

My area of research is analytic number theory.  I am interested in the Riemann zeta function, L-functions, prime numbers, and a variety of problems in multiplicative number theory. My Ph.D. thesis, Limiting Distributions and Zeros of Artin L-functions, studied the finer behaviour of the summatory function of the Mobius function and Chebyshev's bias in Galois groups. Some research topics I work on include: mean values of L-functions, non-vanishing of L-functions, sums over the zeros of the zeta function, gaps between zeros of the zeta function, mean value estimates for Dirichlet polynomials, convolution sums of arithmetic functions, and various questions concerning distribution functions of number theoretic functions. Recently, I have been interested in questions concerning simple zeros of L-functions and linear combinations of zeros of L-functions. Here are my publications .

Our department has a very active Number Theory Group. Students interested in doing a Masters or Ph.D. in number theory should contact me directly.

I am the organizer of the Lethbridge Number Theory and Combinatorics seminar .

This fall I am teaching Topics in Number Theory, Math 4850A/5850A/7850A. This is an introductory course to analytic number theory.

I am a co-organizer of Canadian Number Theory Association meeting XII. This will be taking place at the University of Lethbridge from June 17-22, 2012.

I co-organized Number theory day in Lethbridge This conference took place at the University of Lethbridge on May 7, 2008.

I organized a summer school on Analytic number theory and Diophantine approximation with Damien Roy. It was held in Ottawa, Ontario from June 30 - July 11, 2008.
