Statement:
Research Interests: Algebraic Topology: (a) stable homotopy theory, especially from the chromatic perspective; (b) spectra with continuous actions by profinite groups, and their homotopy fixed points; (c) the Multiplicative Ring Spectra project of Paul Goerss and Mike Hopkins; and (d) Morava E-theory.

Selected research publications:

• The homotopy orbit spectrum for profinite groups, submitted (2006).
• The homotopy fixed point spectra of profinite Galois extensions (with Mark Behrens), Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, to appear (2009).
