Much has happened since I last posted. To summarize, after accepting the job offer from Catholic University, I spent the summer preparing my thesis, and now I am living in DC. My defense went well – my adviser did ask the most difficult questions – and it’s taking some time to get adjusted [...]

I’m Still Alive

Yes, I’m still part of this world. I haven’t been posting because I’ve been working on my thesis and recently, I’ve been preparing for a race this Saturday. I’m still doing the rowing thing and somehow my coach thinks I’m good enough to be in a boat during a race. If we’re [...]
Eqypt Day 1 & 2

We flew into Cairo and were supposed spend the first day relaxing and recovering from the rather long flight. Instead, we asked a taxi driver – who turned out to be very friendly – to take us downtown for food and shopping. He took us to get Koshari, a popular fast-food in Egypt, [...]
Back from Egypt

Egypt was fantastic! After I came back, I got a little sick, probably from being in that germ-infested plane for 10 hours, so I was unable to give an update sooner. My dad bought me a really nice camera and I took a lot of pictures (almost 600). I started a flickr [...]

Hello World! There’s been a bit of good news on my end lately. First off, I got a job offer from Catholic University (CUA), and if all goes well, I will finish up this summer and be tossed into the real world. At least it will be in DC. I’m also [...]

Well folks, I officially have an on-campus interview at Catholic University of America (CUA) on March 25th. I will spend the day at CUA getting to know the department a little, meeting with a dean and having various interviews, and giving a 50 minute talk (in my research field) in the afternoon. Wish [...]
Colloquium Talk

So next week is spring break and I don’t have much planned. On Wednesday, I am going to SUNY Geneseo to give a talk to the undergraduates about life as a grad student in math. I must say life is pretty good as a grad student. Even though our stipend doesn’t pay [...]
All quiet on the job front

So nothing much have been going on lately. The only bit of good news is the e-mail I received yesterday from Catholic University. They wanted to know of my availability and to inform me that there is a high possibility that I may get an interview. We’ll see how it goes.
Last weekend, [...]

I, my mom, sister and brother are going for a week long trip to Egypt in April. I think it will be a lot of fun, and I intend to do a lot of research about Egypt to maximize the experience of the trip. (Knowing me, the day before I leave is when [...]
p-adic talk
Posted in Uncategorized on February 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I recently gave a math talk to a group of high school students about something called the p-adic numbers. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. It is a topic that almost no one ever hears of unless he/she intends to study math at the graduate level. [...]
