Professor Emeritus, Years at UGA: 1981-2017 Emeritus professor of Mathematics at the University of Georgia. My research interests are in Capacity Theory, Arithmetic Geometry, Arithmetic Dynamics, Arithmetic aspects of Mathematical Logic, Algebraic Number Theory, Algorithms, and Computational Mathematics. I have graduated eight doctoral students and four masters students: · (Doctoral): Steve Donnelly, Milton Nash, Charles Pooh, Daeshik Park, Zubeyir Cinkir, Nathan Walters, John Doyle, and Kenneth Jacobs. · (Masters): Pongsak Ajjimarangsee, Chandra French, Mee Seong Im, Renee Canfield.
