My mathematical interests are in the theory of automorphic forms , especially their role in number theory although recently I have been investigating their spectral behaviour.

After studying at King's College in the University of London, I did my Ph.D. with Henryk Iwaniec at Rutgers the State University of New Jersey, and was an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan from 1992 to 1995, when I moved to the Universidade de Brasilia .

Publications:
  1. On shifted convolutions of $\zeta^3(s)$ with automorphic $L$-functions, Duke Math. J, Feb 1995.
  2. On pairs of closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces, Annales de l'Institut Fourier (Grenoble), 49 (1), 1999.
  3. On a sum formula for fourth powers of Maass cusp forms and their spectral growth (in preparation)
Here are some web pages that I think are fun.

although the powers that be tell me that you can contact me at

for about six months or so. I will do my best to respond in a timely and appropriate fashion, but I have been known to be a little slow, so let me apologise in advance....
