His primary interests include number theory and arithmetic algebraic geometry, particularly zeta functions over finite fields. He is known for his proof of Dwork's conjecture [3] that the p-adic unit root zeta function attached to a family of varieties over a finite field of characteristic p is p-adic meromorphic.
