Course pages <a href="https://utexas.instructure.com/">are available on Canvas</a>.</p> <p>I also do math tutoring in my spare time over Zoom. Email me if you're interested and we can discuss meeting times and hourly rates.</p> <hr> <H3>Research</H3> My research interests currently lie in algebraic geometry and representation theory. Previously I studied number theory and analysis, focusing on topics relating to the distribution of algebraic numbers and points of small height, potential theory, and arithmetic dynamics. I am especially interested in Lehmer type problems that can be approached through machine learning. <p> <a href="emmeasure.html">Here's what I'm currently working on.</a> </p> I am also interested in adaptive network models as they relate to COVID-19. <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.06990">Here</a> is a paper that has been published that I worked on with Carl Corcoran during the AIMS 2020 Summer School Session on COVID-19. <p>This semester I will be leading a <a href="hartshornech1.html">learning seminar on Algebraic Geometry</a>.   <hr> <H3>About me</H3> <p>My <a href="johnclarkcv.pdf">Curriculum Vitae</a>.</p> <p>I received my bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the <a href="http://www.caltech.edu/">California Institute of Technology</a> in 2016. Here is my <a href="john_clark_thesis.pdf">Masters Thesis</a> on Polynomials with Small Mahler Measure on Elliptic Curves via Genetic Algorithms, which I worked on under the direction of <a href="https://math.okstate.edu/people/fili/">Paul Fili</a> at <a href="https://cas.okstate.edu/department_of_mathematics/">Oklahoma State University</a>. </p>  <p>I enjoy taking my dog Judah (who's now a senior citizen!) to the park in when I'm home with my family.</p> <img src ="judah.jpg" width="150" height="200" align ="right"> <p>I am a devoted follower of Jesus Christ.
