Abstract: 
1. colloquium talk
Title: Equations in Simple Groups
Abstract: Given a word w in a free group on variables x_1,...,x_n, a finite group G, and an element g in G, we consider the question of whether the equation w = g has solutions where the x_i take values in G, and if so, how many. I am particularly interested in what happens when the word is fixed and G is a large finite simple groups. I will say something about the ideas which have led to progress for certain families of words, with emphasis on open problems.

2. number theory seminar talk
Title: Elliptic curves and field arithmetic
Abstract: Let E be an elliptic curve over a field K. When K is a number field, Mordell's theorem says that the points of E over K form a finitely generated group. We say a field is "anti-Mordellic" if the opposite is true for all E/K. I will discuss what is known about anti-Mordellic fields, with emphasis on a longterm joint project with Bo-Hae Im to understand the relation between the anti-Mordellic property and the absolute Galois group of K.
