Research

My research is in the area of number theory under the guidance of Dr. Manfred Kolster. I am currently studying the higher étale Hilbert kernels, WK^ét_n(F), associated to a number field F.

Masters Thesis

"Multi-quadratic extensions of Q with trivial 2-primary Hilbert kernel" (pdf)

In this paper, the finite extensions of Q with Galois group an elementary abelian 2-group are classified according to the vanishing of their 2-primary Hilbert kernels.
